    this sucks

    I hear ya, I'd never had any issues at all until this year. Everything has always been very easy and way cheaper than hiring a broker to import. This year there was a new supervisor at CBP and he tried numerous times to tell me it was federal law I was required to hire a broker on shipments...

    this sucks

    The individuals placeing the hold are not with the USDA. They are agricluture specialist within CBP. I'm not saying that USDA can't get involved because they can. I'm not certian but I believe this is a farily new "department" or repedative waste of waste of money our goverment is known for...

    Favourite quotes - Here's mine, Quite a long list. What's yours?

    “Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.

    Truck - what do you drive, and why?

    2020 Ford F-150. Why... it's a basic XLT 4-wheel drive and checked all my boxes and was the cheapest I could find across the brands with similar features. Had a firend drive me 200 miles up to Oklahoma to pick it up. I'm like you in that I usually keep one 10 years or more. I do tend to buy...

    African Spiral Slam & More - Only US$6,950

    I believe in '22 when we took that round trip it was $130 round trip all taxes/fees/etc. Some outfittes do have Gemsbok, price will vary obviously between outfitters I'd say $800-$1,200.

    African Spiral Slam & More - Only US$6,950

    Absolute great offer Wik. If you're a first timer to Africa this is a killer deal, if it’s your second or third trip and you need 1 or more animals to complete your spiral slam the options to substitute other animals in the package is awesome.

    South Africa Taxidermy Worth Remembering With SPLITTING IMAGE TAXIDERMY

    I hunted April/May of 2022 got my crate from Splitting Image on Nov. 5th 2023. All European mounts. Had a couple of the skulls carved. I'm sure '22 was rough on a lot of taxidermist rehiring, training, and retraining everyone lost due to COVID.
