Namibia Leopard and Elephant Hunt Taxidermy

[Cecil Hammonds]

Where was your hunt? I’ve seen that some farms in Namibia had nyala but none had the quality of yours!

I hunted with Nick Nolte Hunting Safaris near Omaruru. Nick is well known for leopard.

I am using a company in New York called Genus Logistics. Cindi Rulon connected me with them. MY POC there is Matt Mayers

King’s Taxidermy does great work. When I hunted with Jamy Traut in 2018, most of the taxidermy in the main area were done by King’s. Also, they delivered a full mount lion to Jamy and it looked great.

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!

Beautiful work. You have me curious about the shipping costs as I am waiting to hear any day now from the shipper in RSA with numbers for my crate. The way things are going I may have to forgo your ABNB crate option and go straight to living full time in mine!

Hopefully you will have better options out of RSA than I had out of Namibia. Ethiopian Air was the only airline that was taking Big 5 trophies out of Namibia at that time.

Yes, I am thinking there are not many options for air freight with Big 5 trophies whether from Namibia or RSA. I will find out soon enough.

Turkish airlines may be the only option

There was some rumors another airline was going to start transporting big five to the states but I can’t remember who they were but it definitely wasn’t any of our chicken shit US airlines.

Well my shipment is making it's way from New York to Texas. Scheduled for delivery on Tuesday, June 25th!

Simply wonderful!!! it’s none of my business but does the window by the leopard and springbok get direct sunlight? I would hate for a beautiful piece of art to fade from exposure.

Nice stripped Marlin also

Thanks, it only gets it a little in the morning, but we are going to put a shade on it.
