Nothing like opening up a big box and finding all those memories of your hunt.
It looks like a really good packaging job! Great looking euros! Congratulations!
Who were the shippers if I may ask?

The shipper was African Trophy Exports.
But here's where it gets a little odd, at least for me,...I contacted Marakalalo Taxidermy to do the taxidermy work prior to our hunt. Had great correspondence with the owner prior to the trophies being picked up, during the process, and leading up to the shipment. During the shipment I corresponded with the owner of Marakalalo and the agent with African Trophy Exports...the crate arrives, I'm very happy with the work, nothing was damaged, but taped to the wrapping of every mount was a tag that said Umlindi Taxidermy. I'm familiar with Umlindi as it was very near where we hunted and I'd researched them prior to the trip but when you Google them everything says they are out of business, their Facebook page hasn't been posted to since June of 2018. So who knows, all I can guess is the owner of Marakalalo reached out to the former owner of Umlindi since he was 30 mins from where we hunted, had him do the euros, shoulder mount, and zebra skin, and paid him for the work.
The end product is more than satisfactory so all is good...guess it is was it is.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
