Maybe this is something new but they were also not able to process certain animals so they had to ship the animals to another clearing house also. I have not got their bill yet.

That is a great package and someone should take advantage of that offer. That is also a nice Tom you took.

That certainly sounds like you had a great trip! Congratulations. Looking forward to your report.

Congratulations on a nice hunt with some beautiful animals. The cartridges look huge in that ammo belt in the photos.

Lots of opinions and most I would say I agree with, But I was looking for anyone that would know the actual law and what is required. Sounds like it is not mandatory with the exception if you are carrying cash in access of 10,000, is that correct? This is the first time in over 35 years I have...

Isn't the 10,000 amount on the U.S. side and not on the South African side?

I know the Traveler Declaration for South Africa was optional before and some people are telling me it still is. I have also been informed that it is now mandatory. Does anyone know what the actual situation is with this, and has anyone been asked upon arrival if this was done? I see this can be...

That is a great bow! I was going to get one but it is longer than my RS and does not fit in my case. I usually get a new bow every year, but decided to stick with the RS again and see what comes out for 2027. would love to hear how the pronghorn hunt goes, that is on our list for the near future.

He said they charge $300 a day now for storage. They only told me that after they had my trophys for 10 days. I have never been charged storage with any other shipments I had with them in the past.

Did you get the actual bill from the shipper and coppersmith or are those just estimates? The accurate freight bill can only be given once the crate is complete and Coppersmith gives the actual bill only after it is cleared. This bill would have been 2500 cheaper without the storage fees. A lot...

The 80-90 was simply a guess from the taxidermist in Africa when they were dipping the animals, I asked if we had them all mounted there, what the freight would be. I assume they were using with air as that is all I have used in the past.

Sounds high, but the Coppersmith paperwork says 779KG

That certainly is something to think about. We have always kept any buckskins of animals that we took if we were having shoulder mounts. We have piles of them and don't really do much with them. I do not feel it is worth it. As far as shipping directly to you, it depends on what you have. I...

1-Hippo, 2-Nyala, 3-Impala, 1-Blesbuck, 4-Wildebeest, 1-Giraffe, 1-Buffalo, 2-Eland, 1-Mountain Reedbuck, 1-springbuck, 2-Sable, 1-Warthog, 1-Waterbuck, 1-Zebra, 2-Gemsbuck, 1-Kudu, 1 Crocodile. so 26 total.

Yes in all fairness, there are quite a few animals and it is a large crate. Also 1 small crate as the warthog had to be shipped seperate.
