Wow! That was quite the read… to be honest I felt my heart rate go up as I read it with anger! Hope you can get your girlfriend on a hunt worth remembering. Sorry about your crap trip
May he rest in peace. Nothing says more about a man then the way his children speak about him, Clearly he was a great father!! My thoughts go out to you for your loss.
Without death its hard to appreciate life....
Congrats! I Talked to Dalton about doing a tuskless/buff combo in the omay within the next couple of years. Glad you had great success, pushes me towards getting it done. love the bushbuck as well such stunning specimens.
Kinda hard to see in this photo, but I like to use at 3/4” sheet of osb and 4x4x8 post for legs the build feet at the bottom of the posts for stability. This hold a lot of mounts and if you hang something real heavy put a 2x4 block on the backside and hang through the 3/4 into the block
Something I also recommend is once you get them out of storage and back together with all your mounts bug bomb the whole area in case you picked up moths at the storage facility. I know a guy that lost most of his mounts from picking up moths at another location then bringing them back to his...
Taxidermist here. You should be good to go as long as its climate controlled, do not put them in a storage unit if its not. Those boxes get way to hot if they aren't controlled.

Actually that’s incorrect my wife’s ss number and mine are attached to the same address within the US which allows you to combine animals.(broker agreed) Splitting image was in total agreement they just simply wanted to charge me a crate fee twice I believe.
Next time I will just do everything...

Delay or not They were very easy to work with and ultimately did their job successfully. I will use them again. I’ve had many friends recommend me to them
They said a backlog was the reasoning for delay. The broker seemed to be on top of everything from my end, extremely responsive, communication between shipper/taxidermist on point, no delay in contacting on arrival and such things. But very limited experience on my end of what to expect.

They are located directly next to airport so that’s probably the case. Yes 26 days from Turkish airlines would have made me cry and cancel my next trip
Hello everyone after much discussion on the issue of storage fees at airports I’m left a bit confused.(but happy) I just finally got all my animals (dip & pack ) to my tannery after they were held at JFK usda for nearly 26 days. The confusing part for me is I paid only a basic storage fee and...

Great report and exciting hunt. Thank you for sharing the good and the bad of the hunt. This is reality and reading hunt reports that hide that bad build unrealistic expectations for hunts.
Enjoyed it very much!
Daniel Mang with full snarl taxidermy, is also a top contender. He won the world taxidermy competition couple years ago with a leopard. Was listening to him talk the other day, he said had put together like 75 leopard so far in his career. (I believe he’s on 30 years old)
