After a year and a half, the magic box finally arrived. Everything turned out to be in great shape, and Tina is overjoyed with her tabletop Steenbok. The big trick now is mounting my Waterbuck above the fireplace while she isn't looking. ;)

Happy Christmas in April! :)
 
My only possible regret is my Warthog. If I had it to do over again, a full body mount might have been a better choice.

BTW, I never knew the skulls were so thick and heavy on these guys! I can see a glancing blow from a rimfire bouncing right off.

Exciting!-please post some more pix when you get them hung with the horns on (y)
 
Awesome warthog, congrats!
 
Always awesome when trophies make it home. Congrats. Looking forward to seeing them all in place.
 
Always an exciting day. I'm super curious about that furniture piece. What do you have going on there?

It's a pedestal for the Kudu. Here is a picture from the Karoo website of what the pedestal will look like

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.
