Trophies are Home

[JimP]

My crate arrived this morning and I was like a kid on Christmas morning.

After letting the mounts air out in my garage for a few days I'll give them their place of honor inside.

The rest of them

Congrats on getting them home. How did you ship them (Ocean or Air) and would you do it that way again?

Christmas in August, always a great time reminiscing when they show up.

They came by air into JFK-Denver, then truck to my home.

The crate was 374 Kg volume metric weight and they pretty much took up the crate. The dimensions were 30x42x34 inches.

And yes I would ship by air again

Looks good. If you don't mind me asking, who did your taxidermy work?

That’s good to know. I have a Kudu, Gemsbok, Waterbuck, Blue Wildebeest getting completed this month and have been debating between ocean and air. There is about a $3300 difference, but I worry that could be eaten up in port or storage fees and inland freight.

My outfitter Frontier Safaries has a taxidermy shop. They are north of Port Elizabeth in Alacedale

It only takes a little time.

I had all the pictures taken in about 20 minutes, that included figuring what horn went on what skull

Nice trophies. Congrats.

Congrats, and glad everything came in without issues. Don't forget pictures of where they are hanging in the house.

That's going to take some thinking.
