Picking up some Africans in May

[BLKBEARKLR]

One of the things about being in the military so long I have made friends all over the United States, I had an old Infantry buddy just return from Africa. I am driving to NY in May, and when driving back will swing in and pick them up.

He actually said an interesting statement also, he asked how long it would take, I told him right around a year, he said ok that is not bad, I asked him if that was a long time to him and his statement was never rush a Doctor or a Taxidermist they make one slip and you are screwed!!!! 

Here are some of them that I will be doing...

some great looking animals right there. if you would ask him what outfiiter he hunted with over there i am sure i am not the only one who would like to know. i have dreamed of africa for a long time and i am only 22 lol well almost 23 and instead of going there for our honeymoon we went to new zealand to much termoil over there and i didn't want to be worried about it on our honeymoon but am always looking for a great spot thanks matt...

Nope, I got three calls this year on them, but was not able to get any in. These will be my first ones. I had to beg him!!!! But we have come to an agreement, that once they are mounted then in 2011 we both are going to go back over there and replenish them.

have you done any yet Kuduman? I am in the process right now of getting all the reference pics of each species. Can you PM me if you have any good suggestions on where to get them, I know the big taxidermy supplies have them, but sometimes the smaller places have better ones.

I will talk to him in a week or so, and see if he will give up the info, he is very secretive about what he does and where he goes, as you can see face all blacked out. He was deep in spec ops for a long time, now he just can't get it out of his system to relax.

Are you doing all six?

[GoldTip]

That Gemsbok is absolutely gougeous, by far my second favorite african animal, right behind Sable.  But alas, I will never spend the kind of money it would take to get a good Sable.

[BLKBEARKLR]

Yes, plus he has a wildebeest and two other animals. I am waiting to get the pictures from him...

Same here, I love teh Gemsbok, and the wife wants a Kudu so in 2011 we are going to go on the hunt and get our trophies, we have been going over this a lot we should be able to to get 14 animals. So not bad.

i understand i just like to know a place threw the people that have hunted there and not someone who is paid to say good things if you know what i mean

Blackbearklr:
 I went to Africa in 2007 and took all the following plus a warthog, duiker and a blesbok. It looks like your buddy and I  hunted the exact same animals. I asked if you have ever mounted any African game because it can be a little tricky and your right Reference material is a must. I'll forward you some  Kudu pictures I took at a ranch while I was on safari.
 I'll post up some taxidermy pics from my trip.
I also book trips for my customers. You might want to think about that to draw in some additional African work.
If you need any help at all please contact me and I'll help any way I can.

Good Luck
