Shipping back to the Scotland

[Alan413]

I am new to all this. I am currently I. The process of getting my first hunting trip out to SA.
Got a few questions for you boys that have done this before.
What is dip and pack. What sort of cost is it.
I am wanting to do mostly euro mount and hides.
The only trophy I would like to get shoulder mounted is a kudu bull.
Does any know of the price to tan the hides or am I better getting someone over here to do that. Ie Scotland
Sorry one more.
How do I get them shipped out here
Thanks for you time cheers
Alan

D&P is treating the raw hides, skulls (dried) and packing them to be sent to you.
This allows your taxidermist to do the work at home.

I am wanting to do mostly euro mount and hides.

This can be done at either end of the shipping.

The only trophy I would like to get shoulder mounted is a kudu bull.

If that is what you want, thats what you'll get.

Does any know of the price to tan the hides or am I better getting someone over here to do that. Ie Scotland

Processing hides into rugs or leather can be arranged by any of the good taxidermists in RSA.
Look them up and ask for current prices.
Sometimes local tanners will not do some hides. ie. buffalo.

How do I get them shipped out here

There are plenty of shipping companies providing this service in RSA.
Research threads on shipping.

good luck.
