Are you using Trophy Transport Johnny?

Are you using Trophy Transport Johnny?

No I don't believe he is. Gentleman by the name of Allen is the owner. I was talking with Erick yesterday on the phone, if he didn't hear from them he was going to load it up himself and drive it to NY. A short while later he did hear from them and they are supposed to pick up this morning get it to the mid west somewhere and then hand it off to someone else. I should have delivery sometime next week.

He’s on the way to the shop and we’re about to load everything.

Hope you’re going to take pictures after they’re all in place and show us? I’d love to see it!

 

[johnnyblues]

Ok guys taxidermy is home! Today is exactly one year since I shot my waterbuck which was my last trophy on my Safari. One year from hunt to trophy room. That’s the kind of turnaround time I look for to be honest. I’m just to impatient to wait 18-24 or more months. Ok so my overall opinion on my experience with Erik of Top of Texas taxidermy (@gizmo), communication excellent, willing to listen and work with the client excellent, in progress photos constant. And the final product very good. The pedestals are beautiful too. One of a kind. Thank you my brother for everything. Please forgive these piss poor photos as I’m not a high end camera guy. And once again thanks everyone for laughing and enjoying with us.

Thanks buddy, the bushbuck is a little crooked on the wall tho.

Yep Johnny, time to add on or move buddy! Glad everything made it in one piece!
Cheers,
Cody
