My good friend @BnC 04 is one of the best hunters I know and his wife is as well having taken a couple of buffs herself!

Congratulations on getting yours back.

Curious on your crate dimensions and shipping costs. Did Collett’s exporter ship from Zim to RSA then to the states?

Appreciate it, thanks.
If my memory serves me correctly, the shipment went from Zim to Turkey and then over to the US. I would have to check the manifest to verify.
Crate dimensions and chargeable weight is listed in picture. Cost to get it to ORD was just over $3k.
Hope this helps with future planning.

Thank you, I’ve got a crate that should be leaving Collett’s pretty soon. Should give a comparison idea.

I'm guessing more will yeah, Sorry should have said this was back in 2018, and just what they told me at the time

Has anyone seen an elephant skull mounted on the wall with the tusk? I wonder how that would look?

I’ve seen them before and they look cool but they’re big and heavy. Mallard’s Gun Store in Florida has several adorning the walls.

Yes Philip @KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS has his in the main dinning. Looks pretty sharp!

I prefer the standard ivory mounts on a small pedestal
