    New Zealand Stag Hunt Report

    Part 2 Day two started the same as day one. Weather didn’t look great, but we were going to go out anyways. As we approach the ranch, it was clearing up a little bit so hopes were getting a little bit higher on my side that we were gonna be able to see more game today. The three of us loaded...

    New Zealand Stag Hunt Report

    Part 1 Just got back from a 13 day New Zealand adventure. The first three days were spent hunting with Owen Throwbridge of The Hype of The Hunt. I had met Owen about three years ago at a lunch with a mutual friend while hunting for Ibex in Kyrgyzstan. He was there hunting Ibex as well. We had a...

    Walk-in Cooler.. Trailer Build

    That’s sweet. Sounds like a possible side job taking orders and selling some on the side. But the build out sounds pretty intensive and time consuming. Getting that meat cooled down is so important. Thanks for sharing.

    NZ Trophy Export costs

    Heading to NZ in a few weeks to hunt a 360-400" red stag, Arawapa ram, and feral goat. I talked to the taxidermist that my outfitter uses asking them for an estimate to have the 3 animals euro mounted and shipped to San Francisco International airport. Below is a breakdown of the costs in US...

    Kyrgyzstan Ibex Permits

    I don’t necessarily agree with the assessment on this one. There were far more hunters in 2022 who were not able to leave with their trophies than what you are stating. I know in my camp the outfitter did not send anyone home with theirs and I met a few folks online who were in the same boat but...

    Kyrgyzstan Ibex Permits

    It took about 5 months but I got my trophy. And my outfitter did not gouge me on fees to get here, he was very reasonable on the price to get it ready and on a plane to the states.

    New Zealand Trophy Export Info

    Hoping to get some feedback on bringing home trophies with me from NZ back to the US. I have a hunt lined up on the South Island (flying in and out of Christchurch) in mid March 2024 for stag, goat, and a ram. If I'm successful in taking these animals I will be having a euro mount done on all...

    Spain/Austria Ibex Hunts

    I will be talking to them for suggestions. I like asking other hunters who have been there for travel and site seeing suggestions. We prefer the out of the way places to visit or stay to get a better flavor of the local culture and traditions. Yes we will hit some of the places everyone goes to...

    Spain/Austria Ibex Hunts

    I have just signed up for a Gredos & Biceites ibex hunt with Fran Cortina and Corju hunting for Jan 2025. After the hunt we will take 10 or so days to travel around with my wife. Would love to hear of must see places or attractions as well as places that were not worth the visit.
