Authentic African adventures

[Cassie]

Hi there,
We will be doing a hunt in December with Authentic African Adventures. I'm trying to get better prepared. So I have a couple questions.
Has anyone hunted with them?
Who did you use as your preferred dip and packing taxidermist?
Who did you use for shipping and crating?
What was the cost to ship to the United States? Say 1 to 3 animals. Preferably for shoulder mounts.
I've done a ton of research and just having a hard time with shipping and crating costs and company's.
Thanks everyone!

Not many people hunt in Africa in December as it's the dead of summer. For budgeting purposes, figure about $100 per animal for D&P. I shipped 9 animals (skulls, horns, cape, one zebra skin) to the US for about $1000. Suggest you use Coppersmith. Contact them and tell them where you are hunting and they can give you some taxidermist suggestions. Ask your outfitter too.

Ask some shipping companies for estimates:
I have used Safari Cargo Systems with satisfaction.
