    When to start a youngster on his first safari?

    I started my son and daughter hunting whitetail deer with a .243 when they were both 8 years old. I started both of them when they were 6 shooting BB guns and air rifles to get used to shooting with little to no recoil or loud noise and slowly worked them up to a .22 then to the .243. My son...

    Ivory question

    Off topic a little and not the advice you asked for...so my apologies, but if they want to reduce assets subject to probate, they can list beneficiaries or joint tenants on their investment accounts. Same with bank accounts or add a payable on death (POD). For their vehicles they can register...

    Another thread of trophy shipping costs..

    I'd ask for a quote from another shipper.... that is out of line with even the current inflated BS shipping prices. Just got done handling a buddy’s shipment we received in May or June. He had 10 shoulder mounts including buffalo, kudu, sable pedestal, and others with a couple euro mounts. His...

    Shipping Trophies has Gotten Outlandish

    Although it may be FWS that tells you no combining or commingling in one crate its generally not a FWS issue...its a Customs issue. See below. There are also exceptions for husband/wife and parent/minor child in which both are permitted...of course your broker, taxidermist, and shipper don't...

    this sucks

    If I were you, I'd be calling fish and wildlife and finding out when your eDec was filed and why they haven’t cleared your shipment. If there are no primates, swine, rodents or CITES permit animal’s odds are Fish and Wildlife will never put hands on the crate. They will make sure all the...

    Best Taxidermy for leopards in Houston and Dallas Area?

    My :S 2 Cents:, and that's all its worth. Any cat mount lives and dies in the eyes. This post has been extremely helpful in choosing who will mount my leopard. If the expression in the eye's doesn't match what the rest of the face is saying the mount just looks off. There are other factors to...

    Lets see some Kudu!

    I never shot this Kudu...sometimes I wish I had, we were only about 65 yards from him. He thought he was hidden in the tall grass behind the small bush. He stood there for several minutes just watching us.

    this sucks

    If any of these are dip and pack yes USDA will likely require inspection. You can also add porcupine or any rodent species. Basically swine, primates, and rodents that are dip and pack will most likely require USDA involvement. If these are finished taxidermy USDA should not be involved...

    this sucks

    I just cleared a crate at DFW this morning. It was my buddy’s finished taxidermy from April/May of 2022. He had 5 shoulder mounts and 7 euro's. Came in on Turkish Airways to their warehouse which is WFS. CBP Ag put a hold on it, so it had to be "trucked" to the CBP warehouse which across the...
