Thanks Jody. Very helpful.

Didn’t see anything listed on this site about them. It is primarily bow hunting and would be especially interested of reports involving spot and stalk for Cape buffalo and PG. Thanks

Kruger Human and Marakalalo Taxidermy seem to have good reviews on here. Has anyone used them recently for D&P services? Positives and negatives are welcome. Feel free to message me back channel if you don't want to share publicly. Thanks

Great ideas. Von Gruff, have you used the bone inside the sheath of the horn that GA Hunter is referencing to make a knife handle out of?

I am going on my first safari with my dad and brother in a couple weeks and I would like to have something unique made from a part of the animal taken into some sort of gift/souvenir to remember the trip. Obviously the horns and skulls will stay intact but I would be interested in any gift...

Thanks @Cody hunt4life. I appreciate the offer but I would like to try and get them back a bit sooner than 2020.

Thanks for advice. While I will trust a fellow hunter over any courier, I will use that option if need be.

So I posted an earlier thread stating that I found out after I booked my airfare that I cannot take broadheads through Amsterdam (apparently they are far more lethal than the guns they allow to be transported through). Thanks to generosity of a fellow AHer (TXHunter65), my BHs will be getting...

Apparently my bar is set too high but I have yet to go over and hunt. Would you mind sharing who did this work? I would be very frustrated with the outcome of this despite the fact that you were lucky in that the major screw ups are on animals that will be shoulder mounted but had you planned...

Thanks! I will certainly take you up on the offer if plans change! This will be my first time to Huntershill and first time to SA.

I sent an email to Swift Dip and have yet to hear a reply so I will post it here. Will they pick up your trophies from anywhere in SA or do you have to be hunting relatively close to their location? Do they charge to pick it up?

TXhunter65 has graciously offered to help. One more reason why hunters are the best people I know! Thanks to him and this site!

Point taken! I just saw that I can purchase my BHs on Amazon and have them shipped to South Africa for a reasonable price (the quotes I got from DHL were absurd for such a small package). I am still trying to figure the logistics of this out but I am assuming it would be shipped via courier and...

Is that because it takes a long time or things go missing frequently?

Magnus Black Hornet 125 gr. I wasn’t sure if they carried them over there? Thanks for the suggestion
