    Is This Trophy Import Insurance Quote Crazy?

    We are also using Coppersmith, that is who will be receiving in Houston. This is not air freight because I suspect that would be quite a bit more expensive. But good to know that Coppersmith is worth using.

    Is This Trophy Import Insurance Quote Crazy?

    It’s coming by boat, I think it’d be too expensive to fly. They say Houston is the cheapest/closest entry port to Utah, which seems reasonable. But I don’t know what I don’t know.

    Is This Trophy Import Insurance Quote Crazy?

    Many euro’s & flat skins. Including the giraffe & hippo. But yes, still likely to be a large crate. I’ve been interested to see the crate dimensions but haven’t seen it yet. I’m just glad they’re saying it will all fit in 1 crate! Good to hear $10K doesn’t sound too crazy. I expected it to be...

    Is This Trophy Import Insurance Quote Crazy?

    Good points, thanks. I never thought about it being improbably to be able to collect on the claim, but that makes sense with it being international and having multiple parties involved (outfitter, transporter, shipper, port of entry, etc) that might just not be responsive making insurance not...

    Is This Trophy Import Insurance Quote Crazy?

    That sounds like a good price for air freight. This quote is for ocean freight, which I don't love the thought of finished mounts sitting in the ocean heat for 2 months. But from what I've heard air freight is usually around double what ocean freight is. Also worth noting a lot of these are...

    Is This Trophy Import Insurance Quote Crazy?

    I considered this, but after estimating flight, 1-way UHaul rental, gas, and food, I think it would still cost me $2,300 to do that portion myself. Not to mention having to take a day or two off work, and having it have to be last minute because who knows the exact day trophies will arrive for...

    Is This Trophy Import Insurance Quote Crazy?

    I feel like I need maybe 30% of what this insurance policy covers. But this is the policy recommended to me by Safari Fly Logistics (I think a company my outfitter, Infinito Safaris, operates). Am I crazy? Or is this policy crazy? Anyone here with experience willing to chime in on how much...

    British Columbia Moose Hunt Cancellation

    If I wanted to book a father/son hunt can we keep it on one tab where one of us hunts the moose for 10k and the other hunts the caribou for 6k?

    I suppose I shouldn't post on this but my story is too dramatic not to let it be told... I will be missing the SCI convention for the second year in a row:crying: Post pics everyone, let me know how it goes.

    What Are Rhino Horns Made Of?

    Researched it a little bit and found out a pretty interesting fact; first off I found a couple dozen purposes of Rhino horn in the medical field that are claimed to be. Crazy stuff like detecting poison in water, purifying water by simply dropping in shavings of the horn, ridding fever, treating...
