I picked them up upon my return from a pronghorn hunt in far NW Texas. They are from my 2016 hunt in Zimbabwe. I am pretty pleased. When I arrived home this crate was here having been delivered a day prior. This, still unopened, from a trip to Namibia in 2018. The taxidermy work was done in Namibia. Conduct is the best proof of character.

How did you do on your pronghorn hunt? I just got back yesterday. Got a buck on the first day. I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
