Welcome @IronRanger and you will have a blast on your first trip!
The taxidermy question has changed post Covid-19 as shipping has gotten so outrageous. An operation such as Life Form does fantastic work over there. However shipping is currently so expensive for large crates that total cost to get trophies home may be less if you dip and pack and have the work done here.
You have very few days left to figure that out! Best is to get quotes both ways.
I would not have work done over there without first visiting the taxidermist at their shop to see their work and having it written into any contract before a down payment is made that they will send pictures and make any repairs needed before shipping. BTW I've been to Life Form and they had a very impressive operation. There are some other good ones in the East Cape also.
But again you may pay as much or more for shipping as for the taxidermy. Price it out both ways.
Or don't even get started! Take excellent photos and keep a couple skulls and maybe some really nice skins like zebra. These days I think you can do two hunts without taxidermy for the cost of one with And that doesn't even count the trophy room.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
