Namibia Leopard and Elephant Hunt Taxidermy

[Cecil Hammonds]

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!

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.

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.

You hit a home run on the taxidermy. We all know shipping ain’t cheap, Very cool that was not compounded by bad work.

Outstanding! What a stunning Leopard action mount! Your Nyala on a shield looks great too!

Any time table on a shipping date?

 

[Hunt anything]

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.
