For some reason, it is very important to me to have the work done in Zimbabwe. I like the idea of supporting the hunting industry there.
I'm curious why you wouldn't support U S businesses and the hunting industry everywhere even Africa. Yes your dollars spent here help even Africa Hunting more than you think. Every taxidermist here in the states that I have ever met or know and that is thousands of them hunt. In Zimbabwe none of the low paid employees working on your mounts hunt, legally anyway. Most make less than a minimum wage hourly worker here in the states makes in an hour for a full days work in Zimbabwe. They could never afford to recycle your taxidermy money back into the hunting industry. Your taxidermy dollars here are used for wages that are paid to employees that hunt buy more U S hunting type products that again recycles money thru the hunting industry thru the purchase of, guns, clothing, accessories , pay license fees, conservation fees, ammo taxes, etc and spent money on hunts again to africa and in their home states the list goes on. That IS supporting the hunting industry.
All this on top of the fact, that taxidermy here takes much less time to complete for you. We are at 120 day delivery time from arrival.
IF anything goes wrong at any state side taxidermy company , any U S taxidermist , with your mounts you have an avenue of recourse legally to mediate a resolution to any major issue or quality issue. Try that in Zimbabwe.
Yes, I am very Red White and Blue , Yes. I support my fellow U S citizens when I can. I support MY PH's and their agents and their families as they are truly supporting the hunting in Africa. Hunters from the U S spend Billions, not millions, Billions of dollars in Africa Each Year to hunt and support hunting. That is what makes hunting in Africa what it is Great !
Also hunters spend up to a Billion dollars each year throughout Africa, not a million, a Billion dollars in taxidermy charges in the taxidermy industry in Africa that can easily be spent to support the U S hunting public, supporting their hunting passions and recycle that Billion thru the HUNTING INDUSTRY ! !
