    Has anyone use Dan Martin of Reflections of the wild taxidermy out of deer park Maryland?

    I have some crow to eat. Let me begin by saying that I know I have a problem I need to work on. I am generally a nervous person. I have a PTSD disability thru the VA (I am Retired Army - 2 Combat tours) and my counselor there says my nervousness is because of my PTSD. I do not know if that is...

    Has anyone use Dan Martin of Reflections of the wild taxidermy out of deer park Maryland?

    This has not been my experience. I am told I will be elated with my mounts and that their work is fantastic. But their communication has been less than satisfactory. They are going 9 animals for me. Missy has often said "X will happen by the end of the week and I will let you know when it does."...

    Capes destroyed and useless

    African taxidermy can be beautiful and perfect. And African taxidermy can be ... well.... like what you have. And when you are not satisfied and the culpable party is in South Africa... well.. you're screwed. I knew when I went to RSA it would probably be my only time. That is why I chose to...

    PLAINS GAME CALIBER

    When I went to Africa for the first time (June '24) I knew I would be renting a rifle from PH. I was amazed at the caliber choice. .308. I knew the .308 was a great North American deer round, but I thought pursuing much heavier animals (Kudu, Zebra, Wildebeest etc) would require a heavier round...

    How far were your shots?

    I have only taken one trip to Africa and it was last June. I was fortunate enough to take 10 animals. I remember when planning I was asking everybody on this forum how long could I expect the shots to be. I was reading my notes from the hunt this morning and found all my distances. For those...

    Am I the only one who has ever missed?

    I have missed on some white tailed deer here in the US, mainly archery shots. I have only been to Africa once and I did not miss on any animals. One should have been a miss. My first morning of my first African hunt ever. My PH and I spot stalked a big zebra stallion to 155 yards. He threw up...

    Argentinian Red Deer Pedestal Mount

    I'm going to Argentina in March of '26 for a Red Stag. I'm figuring that's an inside the fencer and not a free range one. Not that it matters to me - I just have seen that they are bigger and more expensive.
