Beware Of Wolfgang Schenk Taxidermy, Germany

Why was it not fleshed and turned out properly in the field??

I can only imagine the carnage if capes where sent from field in Africa in that condition even to the local taxidermist...disaster waiting to happen
 
Everything that I have always read about getting a good cape to the taxidermist begins in the field with proper handling. I have a few friends who have gone to Alaska for muskox hunts and they have had zero problems.
 
While there after everyone had shot their animals I recall the 2 guys from Spain insisted on expedited shipping, if I recall correctly the guide told them it could be done but would add a few thosand dollars to the cost since They would need to hire someone to deliver it to the Vet in the capital to clear it then get it on a plane to either Austria or Germany. He stated that was what he wanted. I never spoke to him why but now I know

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
