    REPORT: Universal Trophy Services Mixed Review

    As I’d mentioned before I’ve seen great work from UTS and heard mostly very positive reviews on them. I posted images of my Sable just to highlight how important it is to stay in touch with your taxidermist and if you do have work done remotely be sure to get photos before payment and before...

    REPORT: Universal Trophy Services Mixed Review

    I'm sure you'll be fine MizzouAg. My PH has a long history with UTS and I've read other posts about the quality of their work and have seen it. This was an unfortunate experience for me that I should have been more proactive in managing (e.g. asking for photos) so it could have been resolved...

    REPORT: Universal Trophy Services Mixed Review

    I have yes, but I think I'm actually going to add Sable to my safari list if I have time. I wanted to just focus on Buffalo and Roan but if there is a quality Sable in the area we may try to add.

    REPORT: Universal Trophy Services Mixed Review

    Agree with all the above and lessons I learned from getting bear, sheep, mtn goat, etc done in Alaska. I should have noted I did visit the taxidermist but I definitely did not research scores of them. I also took a ton of photos of all my animals. At the end of the day I think what happened...

    Exactly. I’m still a novice on Africa and its wildlife. All my experience is Alaska and western US. Great excuse to keep going back

    REPORT: Universal Trophy Services Mixed Review

    These look amazing. I’ll reach out to you directly as I get closer to my hunt. I’m going to add Sable to my list as well to make up for this bad experience. Thank you for responding and sending these great images as a reference of what right looks like.

    REPORT: Universal Trophy Services Mixed Review

    It’s about the worst I’ve ever seen from a pure craftsmanship standpoint. Not sure how something like that is even allowed to leave the facility. I don’t need to be best friends or even like the person I’m working with as long as the quality and professionalism are there. I’m headed back to...

    REPORT: Universal Trophy Services Mixed Review

    I received my crates from last year’s hunt a couple weeks ago so have had time to reflect on the entire process and it is a mixed review. I hunted in South Africa and on the advice of my PH and from many other past hunters I chose to use Universal Trophy Services. I decided on a pedestal mount...

    Finally went to Africa

    Apologies for being off the forum and not responding for over a year to the posts here. Long story short my family, and me personally, have run into one health issue after another that has kept all hobbies, free time, thoughts of anything else, etc on the back burner. Everyone is doing well...

    Finally went to Africa

    Growing up in Alaska there was only one place you ever dreamed of going that could top your backyard and that's Africa. I finally went last month and now I'm hooked (no surprise). Already planning my 2nd trip for later this year. This site has been a great resource so I wanted to stop just...
