Doing a 3 day waterfowl hunt in South Africa after a plains game hunt , how does the process of bringing back birds for taxidermy differ from plains game or is it the same system ?
 
This is one place where I’d consider having the work done over there.
 
Had a couple white hreasted crows done and no additional paperwork was required. Just listed them on the USF&W forms as wild.
 
From southern Africa, which has Newcastle Disease and/or Avian flu, according to the USDA Animal Products Manual page 3-20-10 table 3-20-5 it either has to be a fully finished mount or the unfinished skin must go to an approved facility. So the same as swine (warthog or bushpig) or zebra.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
