Hi all good members. I confess - I have been bitten by the Africa bug big time. Did my first hunt to South Africa with my son during the period 30th Dec 2021 and January 17th 2022 after a 2 year planning/postponement due to Covid-19. We hunted with NB Safaris South Africa and Debbie Barnard/Harry Kitney/Hanno van Rensburg as PH's. What a thrill and adventure we had. It was so great that I have now booked my 2nd hunt with Debbie at NB Safaris for June 2023 together with my son. Can't wait to start packing and get on the plane. Meanwhile, I am still awaiting my trophies from my first hunt. After receiving some pictures of damaged trophies being unpacked at the final destination, I started to think and worry about mine to such a degree that I have asked the taxidermist about their procedures to protect and pack trophies to ensure they are not damaged during transport. I will be receiving two shoulder mounts; a Kudu bull and an Impala ram, European mounts for 2x Buffalo, 1x Golden Wildebeest, 1x Nyala, 1x Sable, 1x Warthog, 1x Springbok, 1x Waterbuck, 1x Blesbuck in addition to pillows, rugs and gun bags.
So, good members. What is your experience when receiving your trophies; have you all received them in excellent state or been unlucky du the inferior packing? How would you like to see your trophies covered/proteced?
I would appreciate your input/feedback etc. very much.The Taxidermist used is African Dip & Pack and Transporter is Logwin. If you have used these, I would also very much like your feedback on their performance. Cheers
