There is a difference between hunting, and understanding what hunting does to a man. The Hunter’s Truth is a space for honest reflection on hunting, the industry around it, and the questions most people avoid. This is not about tips or tactics, but about meaning, responsibility, and the reality behind the pursuit. It is not about having all the answers. It is about asking the right questions.

    The Truth About South African Taxidermy with Doug from Splitting Image Taxidermy

    In this episode of The Hunters Truth Podcast with Oliver Wettstein, Oliver and Carl sit down with Doug from Splitting Image Taxidermy for a straight discussion about the realities of taxidermy in South Africa. They cover the concerns many hunters have today, including whether to mount in South Africa or use dip and pack, what really causes hair slip, what good field care looks like, what separates quality taxidermy from average work, and what kind of turnaround times hunters should realistically expect. Doug also speaks openly about cost misconceptions, shipping, communication, accountability when mistakes happen, and how hunters can give themselves the best possible result before the animal even leaves the skinning shed. A very useful episode for first-time Africa hunters, repeat clients, and anyone who wants a more honest look at the taxidermy side of safari. www.trophydestinations.com www.oliverwettstein.com www.splittingimagetaxidermy.co.za

    Are you being told the full truth before you hunt in South Africa?

    In this episode, I read “Are You Being Told the Full Truth Before You Hunt in Africa” and then talk more openly about what sits behind it. Not every questionable safari ends with an unhappy client. In fact, many hunters come home genuinely happy. But that does not automatically mean they experienced the kind of hunt they believe they did. This is a conversation about honesty, ambiguity, and the questions hunters should be asking before booking a safari in Africa. This episode is also available in video form on YouTube. And if it gets you thinking, then it did what it was supposed to do. A slightly smoother last section could also be: This is a conversation about honesty, ambiguity, and the questions hunters should be asking before booking a safari in Africa. You can also watch this episode in video form on YouTube. And if it gets you thinking, then it did what it was supposed to do.
