Have received word that our taxidermy crates have been cleared and waiting for delivery out of Atl to TN.

We used Moredou for all our taxidermy which included lifesized, shoulder and a couple rifle cases.
(Outstanding communication during the process & received pictures during the process)

Decided in air freight instead of sea, went with Login Logistics for this.
(Good communication during shipping, kept us updated to delays due to weather and such)

Import/Export services provided by Coppersmith Global Logistics out of Atlanta.(Excellent thus far)

To say I am eager to receive our mounts and see them with my own eyes would be an understatement. Will post up pictures once the goods have arrived.

Waiting for the pictures.:cupcoffee:
 
Did you have the taxiderny done in Africa? If you did will coppersmith send directly to your house? I am thinking about having some work done in South Africa especially if they will ship to my house without going through a taxidermnist

Yes we had ALL taxi work completed in Af and yes Coppersmith is delivering directly to our home.

Please post pictures and a price break down when you can, I am departing July 6th and still have not settled on taxidermy here or there..
 
Well guys, 2 big ol'crates have arrived in the garage:thumb:
From the outside looks I was very satisfied with the construction of the crates and once I made it past the 300 screws and wood glue used, she finally gave up and let me in.
Everything appears to have made the journey with no issues. Attempted to move the Kitty but will need a few extra bodies for that task.
Once I get everything unwrapped and in place I will post some pictures.

Called it good for the night. The big mounts will have to wait till tomorrow. Also gives me time to figure out how the rest is going to fit anyway.
 
Damn man, you got them on the wall already.

You are motivated.

Looking good so far.

You had to go and do the full body mount....., how am I going to explain this to my wife? Looks good man from the pictures. Seeing it in person, are your happy with the work from Moredou? I'm about to send the money off to have my and my son't trophies sent.
 
Good to hear no problems. They all look good.

Nice job on the lioness mount.

Glad you got it in the door without renovations being required, but...

You are so screwed. Where are you going to fit that full mount in the house?
 
that lioness came up trumps ,Bnc 04
what would that whole mount weigh ?
now you get to play musical heads for a while till you get em sitting just right

Thanks Phil, I am VERY impressed with the lion/impala mount, it really came out great. The shoulder mounts and skulls all look good with no damage from shipping at all. Quality work at a good price is my opinion. I will use them again for the male and the rest on the hit list.

LOL, Who needs an office anyway...It's officially be renamed the "African Room". Just gotta do some minor shifting to get it just right but am definitely running short on room. Current mount count stands at 69:)

Thanks Bluey, Our best guess is 225-250lbs and that's everything together. Adds up quick when you have 1" plywood as a starting base.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
