Three crates from 2024 hunt came today

I was surprised to learn that Roan is a bigger animal. I had never really thought of hunting one but when I saw it in person I was very impressed with the animal. First animal I took with my 475 No 2 Double. I stalked up to it close and shot it off-hand. Really happy to have taken it.
While Roan are beautiful animals I am always shocked at their price so very much more expensive than other animals
 
Had to go rent a forklift today to get the three crates from South Africa off the flat bed trailer. One is in the garage, the other two sitting in the driveway which you know has the neighbors wondering.

I opened the top of the crate in the garage and took out one item (the others get unpacked tomorrow). It is my Rhino foot candy bowl. Wasn’t sure about that but now that I’ve seen it I like it.

Four of the Big 5 are carved on the outside of the bowl.

Finally got the remaining trophies up on the wall. And of course the all important "Rhino in the Living Room". ;-)

Sweet! (No pun intended) I had mine done as cigar ashtrays.

Hey Odinsraven. Is that post from Jefferry 404 legitimate? I don't know him. Thanks!

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

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.
