Would anyone out there know roughly how much it would cost to have a giraffe hide tanned and shipped to U.S. from Namibia?

The tan would be $2k or so us plus shipping I shipped all mine together and it was $2500
 
Wish I had more but not sure on a one hide shipment but know the tanning is 2k us which is a lot cheaper than here her cape was 1k there and like $1500 here just for the mount Lol
 
Congrats, it's a beautiful mount!!! Stunning!!!
I'm happy for your daughter too! I would like a giraffe too, but don't have the room for one.

You'll just have to go l build on! Perhaps raise the ceiling into the attic space? The only limitations are your imagination! And that pesky budget....
 
Look's great.. Never gave them much thought to be honest. How high are your ceilings?
 
I current don't have to worry about space, all my mounts are in storage, it's when I buy a place to live in again...that it becomes a problem. I want the perfect mancave/garage, I'm not sure I can get what I want.....
 
My intent is to just build the next home. On a lot with a boat load of land. Far more convenient to shoot at home than to drive 40 minutes. Then I can get that vaulted ceiling great room for all my hunting ambitions

I will be building a 2 car "garage" onto my place for a trophy room. 12' walls plus vaulted ceiling. From the outside it will look like a garage complete with overhead doors and could easily be converted to suck (by future owners of course) but inside it will have a raised entertainment area in the center with bar at my back, big screen tv in front, and couches/chairs in a C around it, full surround system and of course mounts surrounding the whole deal. Cant wait. :)

Great Mount. Really gives a good impression of the size of a Giraffe.
Well done.

One would have to assume you would have to mount a giraffe back here in the states. Shipping would be ridiculous

I actually think it works out close to same money cheaper to mount there for sure but work not as good. Not even sure they have seen a form like daughters is mounted on.
 
Mounting giraffe period is expensive tanning for the cape here is about $4500-$5500 and have seen $7500 friend mounted his over and with shipping was cheaper but the work does not compare to work here

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
