Anyone been to Africa for plains game? Motshwere outfitters?

Anyone been to Africa on a plains game hunt? Curious how long ya waited for your critters to come stateside. It’s been over a year now for me. Been told critters are ready but waiting on a purse I had made for my wife to get done. Been hearing this since September

Never been myself but my buddy just got his shipment and it was a year and a half.

Ours got to Chicago early last week from Namibia. We hunted the last two weeks of May last year. Our PH got the hides and horns to the taxidermist/expeditor in July of last year. Approx 10 mths. Got to our taxidermist in Kentucky yesterday.

up to 18 months is fairly normal. Long side but normal.

I recall it was about a year to get mine. Minus my giant Impala that someone must’ve wanted more than I did…

12 months for standard dip and ship of plains game for us.

I hunted with Motshwere 4 years ago and still don't have my trophies. My friend got his after 3 years. They used to be pretty quick when they used Swift Dip, but they started their own in house dip and pack called Preymentos. Since then, a lot of people aren't getting their stuff for years and when they do, they often don't get the right trophies.

Than you. Not what I wanted to hear but not much a guy can do about it I suppose

I went not long after you posted this. I had a decent enough time, however I will say I left with some "yellow" flags about how business is done at this particular outfit. There were some weird things that happened and something in my gut just felt a bit off the whole time. I will say Preymentos has been very good about sending out updates so far via email however I will keep you posted on if/when I get my stuff back. Like you said, not much a guy can do however I went with a big group and a lot of $$$ was spent at both the main outfits desk and the taxidermy. I can only hope they hold up their end of the bargain...

Been 11 times probably sent stuff home 5-6 of those times. Anywhere from 3 months to 15 has been my experience.

With Motshwere or just outfits in general?
