    Any idea on the size of the crate and cost for shipping?

    Just skins and skulls. If it weren’t for the other guys in my group that are anxiously awaiting their taxidermy, I’d have just moved on with my life and let them keep the stuff with the cost of shipping these days. The guy that spent the extra $5k +\- on the waterbuck is very stressed at the...

    Yikes, that impala might quite possibly be the worst taxidermy I’ve ever seen. The blesbuck horns look correct but probably on the wrong skull. Glad this thread has kept chugging along. I look forward to the email notifications I get when someone makes a new post.

    Update: I got a message from Eagle Eye a few days ago to confirm the information on my address and taxidermy. No cost or request for payment info yet. States to expect shipment to go out in the next 4 to 18 months

    Checking back in and glad to see so much new added to my thread. I don't really care about our taxidermy but hope it works out for the other members of our hunting party

    Could you walk me through the costs you incurred throughout the export, shipping, import, storage, etc. process? I'd like to prep my group on what to expect.

    I imagine the difference in their willingness to honor the previously quoted prices was the nature of the booking - full price booking bought in-person directly through them at DSC versus my discount DU donated auction hunt. As mentioned numerous times previously, we had a great time and...

    100%. This is exactly my take away from the negative pricing/billing experience that I had. You live and you learn. Next time things will be written, signed, and legally binding with nothing "subject to change".

    The "signed" portion of our agreement was the Ducks Unlimited donated hunt for 4 people, 16 animals. That was provided as advertised. Where things got a little sketchy was the added hunters, extracurricular to the donated hunt. Here's the whole story in detail: I was provided with a "2023...
