What is the normal length of time for mounted plains game to clear customs?

They finally got to Chicago this morning now Coppersmith has to get them cleared by USFW and Customs
 
Now USFW wants to know where the warthog I shot is. I shot a old female that the property wanted off their land because it didn't reproduce anymore and had started chasing people. I didn't want anything but a picture because it was so decrepit. We are now at a month since the mounts hit the US soil.
 
Hang in there, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope.
 
They finally cleared drove to Chicago and picked them up on Friday Here are the 2 I have up so far.

Congrats, they look great. :D Beers:
 
It was a total of 38 days to clear once they hit US soil the flat skins reek of moth balls they will have to air out if we ever get and nice weather.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.

I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).

Very interested.

Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?


I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
