Well my first ever (and not the last if I have it my way!) crate came this week and I’ve been getting it all hung up for our families enjoyment.
First I want to give credit to Bullseye Taxidermy, African Legacy Logistics, and Coppersmith for a fantastic and strait forward experience in getting everything home. I would highly recommend their services and will absolutely use them again in the future when I get back to Africa. Bullseye picked our trophies up, cataloged everything and the communication from them was perfect. Africa legacy logistics took care of everything on the RSA side and worked seamlessly with Coppersmith to get our trophies from Vaalwater to our home in Arizona. And at what I feel like was a reasonable price since we had all our taxidermy work done in RSA so our crate was large.
Our crate contained my daughters Impala, and blesbok shoulder mounts, her zebra rug, full body steenbok mount, and her springbok euro and flat skin.
Additionally my son had his warthog skull and warthog leather and his blue wildebeest shoulder mount.
It also had my Kudu shoulder mount, Impala shoulder mount, Nyala wall pedestal mount, warthog skull and porcupine skull and flat skin. Along with backskins from everything.
The crating was impressive. Amazing how much they can fit in such a smallish crate.
Overall it was about 15 months from the end of our hunt in to the time we got our trophies hung on the wall.
We hunted with Sensational Hunting Safaris in Limpopo and my hunt report is in the hunt report section if anyone wants to read it.
