Anyone with experience good or bad with Collets taxidermy?
Met him at Denver ISE, and again at SCI. Was impressed with his show work and demeanor.
He has a shop in Zimbabwe and in South Africa.
I have a upcoming buffalo hunt in KZN this June. And am strongly considering him, but if anyone has input It would be helpful
Collets wildlife artistry.
 
I used Colletts (http://collettswildlifeartistry.com/) a few years ago. I had them tan the hides and then ship them and the skulls & horns to my taxidermist in the US. That all went well. I went by their shop in Bulawayo and met Steve. The shop was quite large and impressive.
 
There work looks really good to me. Some nice mounts and other products that is for sure.
 
Thanks Ruger,
Much appreciated
 
We have work being done in both locations. The prices are decent, we get regular communication from them and what we saw in the shop in Bulawayo was impressive. They sent progress pictures with the last update.

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
