24/27. Almost there..
 
You move out your dining room table to make room for more mounts
 
If you are on AH so often that your wife thinks you are having an affair.

In her defense, you do get on it as soon as you wake up and just before you go to bed....
 
Last edited:
If your children are watching national geographic and ask when the animals will be shot (because daddy watched too many hunting videos)
 
If you take advice from all the AH enablers and buy another safari rifle.
 
If you look at posts like this one and end up buying some Skullies.

I feel you brother..

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
