Got a question for you guys has anyone shipment be held up by a hunt verification lately? Its what's hold up my trophies is SA. I know it all takes time but figured I'd ask.
 
"Hunt Verification"?

Completed PH's Register submitted to your shipping/Taxidermy is all that is required in SA.
 
By "hunt verification", do you mean that someone requested to see further proof that you were in the country for this hunt? Were you requested to provide a copy of your passport along with a copy of the entry and departure stamps?
 
Only thing I can think of is the PH register or provincial permits for import/export...
 
They are waiting on something from the nature conservation. Said it was a hint verification.
 
Waiting on nature conservation is pretty typical. The duration of delay varies.

I ended up waiting on Nature Conservation for 4 months this last go-round. So, put your patience cap on ;)
 
Lol yea it's been 6 months almost. Was just curious. Glad to have other knowledge
 
the hunt verification is a verification that is required by the province you hunted in, it works as follows. if you where hunting in the freestate and your trophies are at a taxidermist in the northern cape, the taxidermist must send all hunting information to the free state permit office they will then submit a verification form with all relevant hunting documentation attached. they check on things like if the hunt was legal, was the outfiiter and ph licensed as well as check that all documentation of the hunt is correct. if the hunting province is happy and all paper work is correct, t hey will then send the verification back with it stating that the trophies are recommended for export. the taxidermist of the exporting province will then submit that verification form to there province permit office and apply for export permit. a couple of years back the taxidermy use to apply for export permits from each province you hunted in, and get export permit from each province. but that has all changed now, for example if you hunted free state northern cape eastern cape, Limpopo, but your trophies are at a taxidermy in KZN, you will see that all export permits are from KZN. this has made the time frame on getting permits back longer, and frustrating. as some provinces you can wait up to a month to get the verification back, and some it can take a day. i hope it this helps.

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.
