Trophies finally here in the states...

Johhny,

Did you get them tanned over there or did you do dip/pack?

 

[cpr0312]

Sorry about the misspelled name in the previous post Johnny

 

[johnnyblues]

No. Just dip pack. I want my taxidermist to be responsible for the hides.

 

[cpr0312]

Cool, yeah me too regarding the hides

Johnny, I think you are lucky to get your trophies so quick,
I hunted Namibia in June of 2015, trophies made it to shipping agent in Namibia the day before Christmas vacation, well paper work problem , then shipped to Dulles instead of Atlanta , put on hold in Dulles , then shipped to Atlanta, now waiting on call from Coppersmith. Forrest

Good stuff Johnny!

You know what you're going to do exactly?

 

[johnnyblues]

Yes for sure. Doing a triple pedestal like this for my eland , kudu and gemsbuck. Then I'll do a double pedestal for the zebra and hartebeest, and a wall pedestal for the duiker.

I think one advantage I had was my outfitter had a dip and pack facility on the property so trophies were looked after very quickly. I missed the Christmas cut off date by several days but I think all in all I'll have them mounted and in the house by mid/ late summer.

Nice, I like to multiple animal pedestals, may get one after my next rip

When you leaving?

I think the 3 pedestal mounts are a great idea, really a wall space saver. and look great too. Forrest

. I leave on April 30th for a week. Going to try and complete the spiral slam I need the Nyala and bushbuck to complete. Also on the hit list is waterbuck. Let's see how lucky I can get in a day of hunting.

Hi Johnny,
I am glad your trophies made it to the states in good order! Next comes the anticipation and joy of the taxidermy. Best of luck on your "short" hunt.

 

[johnnyblues]

Thanks my friend
