My dad and I both hunted in Africa this year and we are talking about shipping our stuff back. Are we allowed to use the same crate to ship everything back? I’ve been hearing conflicting information some say immediate family can and some say they can’t be in the same crate. My dad only has two mounts and I will have six.

IDK about family commingle, but I do know you can just list them as one hunter’s trophies.
Split them up stateside.

Save yourself from an agent's interpretation. Put them all under one name in one piece of paperwork. There's a horror story on here about a father and son combined shipment.

As noted, have outfitter list all under one name.
if that isn't an option, I'm 90% sure you can have the two crates attached to each other to form "one" for shipping purposes, but two crates with different paperwork etc. You'll still pay the 2 separate import fees etc so not as economical as listing as one person.

If the trophies were listed on the outfitters paperwork separately (by hunter) then that is how they will be delivered to the SA taxidermist, and how they will get shipped.

My buddy was having several animals shipped home back in 2022, so I had my 3 little springboks put in his crate under his name. No need to complicate things.

The way they did mine and my sons everything went on 1 license, and they labeled accordingly and I was #1 and he was #2 so when they came in, they had a tag and # written on back of mount in case tag was removed. If you did separate hunting license then I don't know as I have heard the same, but they told us we had to do it that way or ship separate.
You will be charged by two (of everything) if the trophies are treated by diferents names.
When I imported many trophies under my only name it was no problem and we save a lot.
Talk to your PH about your wishes on this matter.
