TCI has typically a good reputation but I have to say the simplicity of my Dalton & York Cape Buffalo Euro Mount has been very disappointing. It is now going on 17 months and I still do not have any idea when I will finally be receiving it despite paying all fees and even transport. I love Dalton & York but you might want to redirect their Taxidermist recommendation from TCI
 
No communication???
 
Reading of issues including ridiculous fees/charges and wait times is really discouraging for those wanting to get some trophies home.

And it takes away from some of the joy we as client get out of these trips; did for me anyway.

I consider myself lucky to be able to just take pics and forego the whole process last couple hunts, but I already have a pile of taxidermy so thats easy for me to say. (I also regret having spent the money on it, but thats another topic)
 
You may be right. fortunately I have taken great pictures. How hard is it to do a simple euro mount just one? Little communication and never ever use Maple Shipping. It teaches us to pay careful attention to every detail or you will be disappointed. For those that know me “this is not my first rodeo”. To say I am disappointed is an extreme understatement
 
Get D&Y on it. Professionals make sure that your trophies get home.
 
They will be at DSC and SCI in 2025 if you are attending those

I just received an email from them this AM. that my Buffalo leather is back from the tannery from my June hunt. And they are now starting to make the gun slips and products from the leather.
 
@Rare Breed - With you living in Atlanta, going to DSC for a face to face with TCI would be a great opportunity to set the record straight.

Do you have any cull hunts available? 7 days, daily rate plus per animal price?

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci
Philippe
