You have def come to the right place. As I was dreaming and then planning for my first trip to Africa I found the members here very helpful and forthcoming with information and encouragement

Thanks for the stories and the great pics. Helps me to relive my own adventures and looking forward to new ones.

I had all my trophies done by Craig and his team and was pleased with the quality of the work and how helpful they were when answering my 1000 questions. Pics of their work can be found on my page here

Thank y'all for the responses. This forum and its members are the best.

- I have the choice of May or June next year. Any advantage to either time? Thanks

Wow, just Wow.

Thank you everyone those are some good leads.

Thanks y'all. I have used taxidermists in Africa ( and am pleased with their work) the last couple of times and am headed back soon so I wanted to check out U.S. first.

That you feel comfortable bringing African game to. A one stop shop as an importer is a plus. Thanks

Dequincy Louisiana here. Have been to SA a couple of times with Monterra Safaris. I found this site invaluable for researching before my trips. Lots of information and helpful people. Feel free to reach out to me if you want to talk about the approximately one million questions you have...

All done with one hide and still have some left but just enough for a couple of wallets and a belt. The wifes' purse was a medium size bag with dividers. There is a lot of leather on a big bull. Oh and I had the scrotum made into a little bowl, you know to hold nuts.
