Was able to pick up my crate today. Truck bed was 41.5 between wheel wells and the crate is 41". Just fit. Took almost 3 hours to unload by myself. The eland about killed me. Trying to hold it and unscrew it. I think half my weight was screws . Everything was fine except my porcupine lost some quills but easy to put them back in I think.

PHEW!!!
I also have a Maverick and an inbound crate. I was worried that I was going to have to borrow my buddies F150 to pick it up and then endure a lot of “busting of the chops” concerning my trucklet at deer camp…

That was a honking big crate! The mounts look outstanding as well.
Looking forward to seeing them displayed!!
What taxidermist is doing the dip&pack stuff?

I have a local guy that will do them. I'm a woodworker and I have been building bases for him building up a credit so hopefully I don't have a big bill with him too I am trying to do a trade with another really well known bobcat taxidermist to see if he will do the caracal.

Good morning from Montana.
I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.
Best,
Kelly Palmer
