Picture 4 gets my vote. Thank you

I am having an attorney look into and been advised on sharing specific docs regarding this potential case. I was present when my taxidermist opened both of my boxes and we believe they could have been combined into 1.

Brickburn, In 2011 we shot 16 animals (mostly large animals). Our Dip & Pack Agent shipped all including backskins, etc to us in 2 wooden crates affixed together (shipped in separate crates affixed together). Our total bill from the Eastern Cape to our taxidermist was approx. $3,000. Karoo...

Thank you for the information. Bill T

Has anyone used African Wildlife Artistry for taxidermy/dip & pack? Located in the Eastern Cape.
