On my computer I had to save it to my computer and then the print property's would let me enlarge it.

Welcome fellow idaho ! I'm from Idaho near the Clearwater river .

Most Supply company's will pour you a front half of any form they have. Typical charge 60% to 75% of the lifesize price.

I know a gal from Montana who had her crate broken into by a couple of crack heads in the states at a truck hub. Stole her waterbuck horns , impala horns and blesbok horns. Truck company would only pay for the value of the horns on the open market. So truck company looked on ebay and gave...

Yes but you will have cites permits involved

I will look and see it's been a while. If not my daughter could probably take some. She's all married now .

My favorite meat also. The zebra shoulder mounts are the greatest. I'm not much for rugs out of anything. The pic is of my daughter, 10 years ago with the pedestal mount of her Mt. Zebra. The guy with her is the guy who built her the wood part of the base. The wood came from a 120 year old barn...

We hunted Namibia 10 years ago. All low fence. Was a great time. Limited on species because they are all native to the land. It was more of a culture experience than the hunts we have done in South Africa. We hunted with Westfalen Safaris.

Yep seen it a lot. He was barely clearing 50.00 for 12 hours labor. Yes thats a hair above 4 bucks an hour. Covid came along and taught him how to do math. Found out he was doing mounts going in the hole or for free !! Boom..... new price that's in line with most taxidermist that weren't...

He dosent want the African mounts if that's the case. But that said, was this taxidermist one of those cheaper than dirt taxidermist ,that finally saw the light and raised his prices to where he should have been a long time ago. I know some taxidermist that are charging 1100 for impala but...

A great north America taxidermist can do any animal that you throw in front of him. Even if he has done one or not. Key word GREAT . I would try and find one who has spent time in Africa. Look at some mounts he did for himself. Most Taxidermist hate the repairs and hard to deal with skins...

Almost everything from anywhere in Africa has been coming in from Turkish Air lately. Plains game plus big 5 . Not sure exactly why. Cost ? Only ones who will fly it ? Don't know.

Restricted crates are only supposed to be picked up by Bonded carrier. Like a truck line. Not sure if a USDA certified person for a company like a taxidermy or tannery can pick up or not.

Were starting to see more crates from South Africa come restricted no matter what's in them. Like buckwild said its your birds. (all avian always restricted) if you got away with swine before, its that some one dropped the ball at entry. But you are still required to know the laws. I ask our...

That was from last July in the cape. Our PH Jaco cooked it over the open fire with Acacia wood. He likes zebra meat , but doesn't like to cook it as he says all the yellow fat has to be removed before cooking. I have talked with some people who say they didn't like Zebra meat. Maybe it had the...
