Springbok Horns Cut off

[Safari Tom]

Guys:

I just got my first mount back from S Africa. A Springbok.

I opened the crate to find the horns are cut off.

What is up with that? I have an email into the taxidermist and outfitter with no response.

Is this normal? Is there a rule that I don't know about?

I suppose I can get some faux horns

Thoughts?

That's odd. They should be in the crate.

 

[Safari Tom]

Silly me

They were wrapped up in the packing

They were wrapped up in the packing

I was waiting for this...

I have never had my springbuck horns shipped off on all 6 of them. Always on and ready to hang. I am glad they were inn the crate though.

10 years from now you can look back and laugh about it.

I am sure there was a moment of fear and panic. Lol

When I got my first crate back from SA I had a hornless gemsbok and I panicked for a few, same thing they were wrapped up in the bottom
