Had this work done by Kings Taxidermy in Namibia; tusks are cast replicas. They are currently in New York waiting for clearance to get shipped to Texas. I won't say how much the shipping costs were, but I am looking at making an Air BnB or VRBO out of the crates to try and recover some of the costs!

WOW!!!!!
 
Congratulations Cecil! Taxidermy looks outstanding. How much time has passed since you hunted them?
 
Kings Taxidermy handled my dip and ship for my cat and other animals in early 2022. I was impressed with them.
 
@Cecil Hammonds who was your shipper out of Namibia, and would you recommend them?
I have pg currently in Namibia.
Shipper was Pronto Logistics. POC is Peter De Villiers. They are good. Trouble I had was the only airline that was taking any Big 5 trophies out of Namibia was Ethiopian Airlines, so no competitive bids. May be a better situation for plains game.
 
Outstanding! What a stunning Leopard action mount! Your Nyala on a shield looks great too!

Thanks. It's driving me crazy waiting for them to get here
 
Wow, beautiful work.
 
Looks good, can't wait to see the pics when you get them home!
 
absolutely love that nayala!!!!
 
Where was your hunt? I’ve seen that some farms in Namibia had nyala but none had the quality of yours!
 
Any time table on a shipping date?
Yes, it has cleared US Fish and Wildlife and hopefully will start heading to Texas in the next couple of days.

Total con artist! Bradley Joseph Clemens!

Regarding Senga Senga. Brad Clemens. Do your research with him. He owes people money…took deposits, no hunt! Two words, for anyone who wants to hire him…..background check. His character shows and this character follows every aspect of his life. Not to be trusted at all!

Is the Americas still available? Does it have wheels? I am interested

Hey there Matt - i would love to understand some more about your bringing trophies home from South Africa in your checked luggage. My PH is holding onto a bushbuck euro and flatskin for me - and i am due back in South Africa in just over a week. He does have the export permit provided by the taxidermist for me. When you have a moment - could we go through the EDC Form and App? Looking forward to hearing from you.
