I had a great time and enjoyed being able to share my experience. One of the things I enjoyed about using SS Pro Safaris is they put together a package that almost any one can afford. Granted the flight is not cheap but the hunt itself is less expensive than many hunts in the US.

Marlin ... Sounds like it was a good adventure! Thanks for sharing, makes me wish I coulda scratched together the coin to join you. Now how long until the trophys are done?? Will they reside in Boise or Anchorage ??

I will keep them in Boise. It's quite a bit more expensive to have them done in Anchorage. I spent more than I had intended (easy to do). So I will probably have one or two done at a time. Have no idea how long it takes to get them here, my impression is close to 6 months but someone on here may know better.

Cariboujack, great story and report. I hunted the Eastern Cape last April. Expect to wait about 6 months on the short end to 1 years on the long, for your trophies to arrive. Once Africa gets in your blood, it's there to stay. Congratulations on some beautiful animals! Kevin

Daughter is getting older (2 1/2 now) it would be cool for her to see some of that stuff.

I think it will be quite a while before I get them up but love to have you stop by and check them out when you come over. I would be deeply offended if you came over and not called.

Marlin,
What a great write-up, pictures, and hunt. Thanks so much for sharing it with us! I'm glad that second Kudu showed up!
My brother who went with my but didn't hunt took over 1000 pictures. I hope to share them when I get a copy.

You can get CD's or discs, not sure what they are called at Costco's pretty cheap. I had 10 made when I was in Alaska a week ago and I couldn't believe how cheap it was. Good way for folks to see them.

Congrats Caribou, fine trophies and great write-up. Do you have their web site, and could you please send it to me. My wife wants to go back for her 50th b-day, so we are in the planning stages....only three years away.

Marlin, I enjoyed seeing the posted photos of your African hunt and narrative. Sorry I didn't get to see them at the gun show last weekend.
Glad you had a fine time and got the animals you wanted.
