Arise,Wow, did you say a few animals you took on your trip? Did you take more and you ran out of film? It appears the California Predators club has turned into the SCI trophy page. Good work-great photos,S&S

[Rimrock]

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.Rod

[ShooterJohn]

Nice bunch of animals. Are there any left now. Those are really great pictures.

[Shoot-it]

Yes very nice pics You killed that wilderbeast with a 30-06 I thought they needed a big gun too put them down. What kind of bullet did you use.

[ShooterJohn]

Shoot-it, he said .30-06 with a 180 grain Nosler in his post.

[Shoot-it]

180 grn nosler........oh yeah I think I have short term memory........

[ShooterJohn]

That's alright Shoot-it. Oh yeah, I think a .30-06 is a pretty big gun too. At least it has one of the widest selection of bullets to choose from.

Great pictures! Did you have any mounts done?

[Arise]

Thanks all.

Great pictures! Did you have any mounts done?

Everything was shipped back to the states 2 weeks ago and now at my Taxidermist. Over a year just to get the hides, skull's & horns back. It's a very long process. I can now tell the Taxidermist what to start on & hold off on depending on the size of my wallet. The Kudu S/M, Gemsbuck S/M & Zebra hide are top priority.

[Shoot-it]

I just love that warthog you killed those tusks are awesome! you going too mount the head. That hog could have riped your leg up really good....with those tusks.SJ I think 300 and up is a big gun . It being a weatherby its a hotter round than a standard 30-06.

Great pics. I'm planning an Africa trip in '08, I love the Kudu.

AWESOME! That trip will change you. Where are you going? What are you hunting? Who is you're outfitter/PH?

[Thumper Dunker]

Realy nice . great pictures.

[FeathersnHoof]

Outfreakenstanding! Awesome pics, and that bevy of delicacies you feasted on made my mouth water.I am having continent envy.

[Tundra]

That's great! Reckon you'll spend as much on taxidermy as you did on the trip? I worked taxidermy for a couple of years (part time just to get good enough to do my own stuff) and the guy i worked for would get himself invited to Africa for free safaris all the time if he would take care of all the taxidermy for the group. a good deal for all involved IMO!

Excellent Trophyman!!!You are on you?re way to a hunt of a lifetime. Make sure when you are in ?Jo Berg? that you pick a night (usually when you arrive or the night before you depart) and eat at the ?Carnivore?. It will be the best dining experience you will ever have in you?re lifetime. They say it?s rated #50 in the world. Whatever you want, as much as you want. You?re PH should be able to get you there no problem. By the way, The Carnivore serves more than what's on the menu. Here are a couple links to the menu... http://www.simonandb.../carnivore.html]http://www.tulipweb.com/travel_articles/carnivore.htmlAlso, I spent about $300 American on some original Kenya Spears and Axe?s, at what they call ?The Selling Place?. This is equivalent to a small Orange County Swap Meet. Anyhoo, I picked up some killer stuff that would look great on the walls next to my trophies. If you would like specific directions, just PM me and I?ll dig them up. Again, you?re PH should know all about the place.Take alot of pictures and enjoy youself.You?re in for one hell of a hunt!

Congrats Thats what I call a hunting trip of a Lifetime! And Great pictures of it did they take any movie of your hunt?
