Had this work done by Kings Taxidermy in Namibia; tusks are cast replicas. They are currently in New York waiting for clearance to get shipped to Texas. I won't say how much the shipping costs were, but I am looking at making an Air BnB or VRBO out of the crates to try and recover some of the costs!

WOW!!!!!
 
Congratulations Cecil! Taxidermy looks outstanding. How much time has passed since you hunted them?
 
Kings Taxidermy handled my dip and ship for my cat and other animals in early 2022. I was impressed with them.
 
@Cecil Hammonds who was your shipper out of Namibia, and would you recommend them?
I have pg currently in Namibia.
Shipper was Pronto Logistics. POC is Peter De Villiers. They are good. Trouble I had was the only airline that was taking any Big 5 trophies out of Namibia was Ethiopian Airlines, so no competitive bids. May be a better situation for plains game.
 
Outstanding! What a stunning Leopard action mount! Your Nyala on a shield looks great too!

Thanks. It's driving me crazy waiting for them to get here
 
Wow, beautiful work.
 
Looks good, can't wait to see the pics when you get them home!
 
absolutely love that nayala!!!!
 
Where was your hunt? I’ve seen that some farms in Namibia had nyala but none had the quality of yours!
 
Any time table on a shipping date?
Yes, it has cleared US Fish and Wildlife and hopefully will start heading to Texas in the next couple of days.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,

If you ever decide to sell this rifle, I will buy it with the dies, bullet, brass, the works. Dan
