A good friend of mine Tom Shankster is in a neuro ICU in extremely critical condition.
He has had both a hemorrhagic stroke/ bleed and another stroke in a second area of his brain.
Currently on a ventilator with poor prognosis. He is a wonderful guide, guided my dall sheep hunt in Alaska some years back and a creative guy with sculptures and also a talented taxidermist.
Above all at 65 he and his wife Jodi are raising 4 grandchildren.
A man with a kind word for everyone and a story with a smile that would lite up any room or camp.
He believes in God's will and I know he would appreciate prayers from other sportsmen's for his family and him.
 
Thoughts and prayers for your friend Tom and his family. A real tough situation with he and his wife raising the grandchildren. I hope he pulls through.
 
Prayers for your friend!
 
Oh dang! Prayers sent. Keep us informed.
 
Prayers for your friend, so sad to hear this type of news!
 
Oh man, too many sad news this year. I pray to God that he pulls through, and praying for his family.
 
Praying for God’s healing hand on him.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
