Taxidermist, butcher and African big-game hunter are not likely to top most people’s list of politically correct vocations. But Mike Goins, owner of Sparks Custom Slaughtering and Taxidermy, doesn’t worry about that sort of thing. In his view, “Hunting is an important part of wildlife management. Processing the meat from the animal provides food, and preserving the hide is an act of conservation and art.”

Goins lives on a five-acre property in Meadowlake, east of Los Lunas, where he operates a small custom slaughtering plant complete with meat smoker and a walk-in freezer. Adjacent to the plant is his taxidermy studio. There, mixed with the usual complement of mounted heads and pelts from animals hunted in New Mexico, are more exotic kills from South Africa, Botswana and Mozambique. Among them are
kudu, wildebeest, wart hogs, impala, steenbok, eland and orix. About half the animals were hunted by Goins. The other half were preserved by Goins for customers who hunted in Africa on trips that Goins helped to organize.

A former high school teacher and coach, Goins quit his job two years ago to devote more time to his taxidermy and safari-booking business.

Raised on a cattle ranch south of Eunice, Goins began hunting at age 7, “pretty much since I was old enough to carry a gun,” he said. At 15, he began learning the art of taxidermy, studying with established craftsmen and experimenting on his own. He now mounts more than 400 animals a year.

Goins visited Africa for the first time in the late 1970s, participating in a hunting safari to Tanzania, Kenya and Botswana.

“I love the atmosphere and wide open spaces and the abundance of species and animals,” Goins said. “Just the whole culture I fell in love with it.”

He began making regular hunting trips to Africa, and in 1990 he met Sandy McDonald, a co-owner of McDonald Pro-Hunting, a major South Africa outfitter. In 1995, he and McDonald became business associates.

“He needed a Southwest booking agent,” Goins said, “and in return I get free hunts and trips and lots of taxidermy work.”
Goins now books about 25 trips a year for customers, three-quarters of whom are from New Mexico.

“Conservation is of the utmost concern to the African people,” Goins said. “Each of the hunt areas has quotas for each species. In none of the countries are endangered species hunted.” And culling the herds, especially in areas hit by periodic drought, is especially important, he said. “If there is no water, the animals suffer,” Goins said. “They compete for the same water and food sources, they become weak and then disease sets in. Hunting controls the population, and most of the animals taken, the ones that tend to become weak and sick, are the older animals that are no longer of breeding age.”

Consequently, Goins said, the hunts have minimal effect on future animal populations. And the governments of the African nations where the hunts are conducted fully sanction them, he said, because they control game herds and generate income.

In South Africa, for example, “Hunting is the No. 1 source of income, especially for the people,” he said. “It provides some of the higher paying jobs, and the jobs are pretty much year round.”

Goins is now accepting bookings for mid-June through mid-August African hunts, which range from seven to 21 days. The seven-day hunt in South Africa, Botswana and Mozambique costs $3,950 per person, plus air fare of about $1,600 from Albuquerque to Johannesburg. The hunt fee includes lodging, meals and drinks, trophy preparation, a vehicle and the services of a tracker, skinner and professional hunter.

Goins also books non-hunting photo safari trips that cost $150 a day. For an extra fee, travelers can arrange outings to Kruger National Park in South Africa and Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River between Zimbabwe and Zambia. Separate ocean-fishing trips off the coast of Mozambique can also be arranged for $150 a day plus boat rental fees. Hunting safaris are limited to groups of no more than eight, while photo safari and fishing trips are limited to groups of up to 15.

People interested in hunting and photo safaries in Africa are invited to attend a free open house February 11 at Sparks Custom Slaughtering and Taxidermy in Meadowlake, east of Los Lunas. Owner Mike Goins will be joined by Sandy McDonald of McDonald Pro- Hunting, a South Africa outfitter. Hunting videos and photos will shown, and exotic foods will be served. Reservations are required, by calling Goins at 865-9722. Directions to the site will be provided.
