Pardon my ignorance, but how does the logistics of the taxidermy work? Also, I'm assuming the meat can't be shipped to the states, do the natives eat it? Congrats to both of you btw!

They are dipped here and salted and shipped to US dry except the girraffe I had to pay a pretan charge to prep it for the trip will figure out more on that one tomorrow the skulls are bleached in my case just the skull cap needed for mount as I sawed off the skulls like a taxidermist to cut my bill saves me about 90 per head. I will pay taxi bill for all prep work before I leave don't have to but cash her talks, then will receive another bill in six months to ship the crate of skulls and hides to US. Then they go to your taxi, so it is long process the meat is sold by ranches to off set cost of the animals they purchase and some is donated for food nothing hear is wasted the skinners will take anything left over

Thank y'all she dropped the big G with one shot to just below the head and immediately shot him two times in chest with 7/08 and he was done. They are absolutely huge she was so proud of her self and the PH's and trackers were all wound up it was an awesome experience. No way can I describe this place but if you can find a way to get here do it! I save up a long time to do this. If you do it bring more than you think you will spend. It gets kinda crazy everything is negotiable I traded the eland for the big G so you never know just make a new plan. I am tapping the breaks now. We are hunting baboons tomorrow as I want one bad

I have a buddy of mine that shows up on here now & again, he just got back from his first trip to Africa. Was a dream for him too, he worked hard & saved up for it. Sounds like he had a heck of a time too and can't wait to go back either. Man I wanna go.....keep those pics coming sir.

Great times and some great critters Hope the new house has high ceilings cause with the Big-G gonna need them. You know that Big-G shin bones make some great knife scales. custom knives with scales from her Big-G would be cool things to have and use on future hunts. Bet some of the knife makers on here could make that happen.

I have asked before and have been ignored. Will you adopt me? I'm 48, broken and usually crap all over myself. All kidding aside, congrats man. That's what dreams are made of

Why is it that pictures with pretty daughters always look awesome, and pictures with ugly dads look so MEH?
NOT! Just joking....
Love the kudu. Nothing shouts AFRICA quite like a kudu kill picture. Unless it's a gemsbok, or a sable, or a blue wildebeest, or a......
You must surely realize that everyone here is living vicariously through you and your daughter. It really gets my juices flowing in anticipation of my own trip to Africa next month.
Great travelogue.
