@Rare Breed
Glad to hear Steve got involved and hopfully has it sorted now.
We had the tusks done, plus replicas with mold, 2 ears (1 painted), and 2 foot stools. Order was completed last month but for whatever reason the export permits took a bit longer then anticipated so I went and applied for my extension.
Now here I sit waiting for the approval of that before our items can be shipped.
Been told by Conservation Force it should be 30 days +- so no big deal as long as ot gets approved.
Im with you 100% on the pictures going forward. With around 70+ taxidermy items I find myself more fond of the pictures with people in them with the game then I do of just the animal.

Where are all these rich taxidermists? I know there are several really big shops in the US where the OWNER of the shop might be doing really well, but the average taxidermist or smaller shops aren't living high on the hog or vacationing anywhere tropical. Maybe 1 in 50 shops is making real money.
Last year I kept getting emails from some safari company with very specific financial details of an upcoming trip etc. Turns out I had an almost identical email address as the other person (both had a safari-theme word) and the company had apparently forgotten to add a 1 at the end of the address so the emails went to me instead of the other guy.
Yes, small details can make a huge difference.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.
On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.
its going to be a good year!
