Just a follow up to my hunt with Kowas in May of last year, the trophies have arrived and now hang in my home. I navigated through Canada Customs in Toronto myself, opting to not use a broker. Partly to keep the costs down, and partly to say that I did it myself. It was surprisingly painless, just a little time consuming.
On the wall, Kudu, Oryx, and Red Hartebeest which were mounted in Namibia and sent to me. I also recieved my Springbuck and Warthog skulls, and am still deciding on what to do with them.

They look good. Congrats on getting them home!
 
Congratulations on receiving your great looking trophies. The quality is outstanding. I leave for Kowas on Monday. Could I ask if you used the Kowas recommended Namibian taxidermist? Thanks.....

Hi Chuck,
I used Trophaendienste Namibia, which were the people reccomended to me by Kowas. They were located between Kowas home property and the airport. There is a little gift shop on site too which had a few souvenirs for my wife and I to purchase before we left.
I only had euro mounts and 2 skulls bleached, so nothing too complicated. The mounts look good, and came wrapped up properly so that nothing was broken. I chose this partly to keep it simple, and partly because of my budget, as the more work that is done, the more it would have cost. I am happy with the work they did for my needs. Someone who has been on many safaris, or who is trying to build a museum quality trophy room may want to just have their trophies dried and sent home to someone they know to do the mounting. The trophies I saw there that were done for other customers, as in a whole shoulder mount, looked good to me, but I am in no way an expert. This was my first safari, done with a specific budget, so I am happy.

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,
