    Trophy shipment

    Humm... kind of makes me wonder, Wild Life Gallery wants to charge me $70 bucks to re-boil 2 warthog tusk, telling me it is required on any swine products entering the US. So my first ever safari (2014) I shot a warthog and wanted a euro mount, when my taxidermist called and said my crate...

    Ragman used them last year, all their work was fantastic, from labeling of the animals, to packing the crate, and wrapping everything in bubble wrap, our taxidermist was impressed. So no worries you should get a good job, I have 3 euro mounts packed away because we are moving sorry no pics.

    LONG awaited crate is finally here!!!!!!

    My first trip in 2014, all the horns had drill holes in them, needless to say I was shocked to see this, thought it was a African thing for shipping purposes. My next trip no holes, just white tape with my name on each set of horns, and my name on the skull in red marker, except the euro mounts.
