Today I stopped by my Taxidermist's studio just to say hello and set up a meeting between myself and some potential Big 5 hunters he wants me to speak with. When I arrived he was unpacking two shipping crates that had arrived from Tan. Two local Tennesseean's trophies had arrived and I must say I was impressed with the overall trophy quality. There was a 43.5" Sable, 30" Waterbuck, very heavy Topi, 2 excellent Gerenuks, 2 Hartebeasts, Grants and Thompsons and two good Leopard skulls. A few animals were on the shy side of being top trophies but nothing with milk on its lips. Each skull had its own set of horns attached and each was wrapped in clear, heavy mil plastic. All capes and skins were done likewise. I really liked how the trophies were packaged and shipped. I didn't find the name of the Taxidermy outfit but if I do I will attempt to email them and congratulate them on doing an excellent job. Soon I will be photographing many of the African mounts being done by my Taxidermist and will post them here: if I can get the time to follow the posting information. Good hunting, David K.

Very often in Tanzania, the packing and crating is done by the outfitter as there are no real Taxidermy options available locally. Did you by any chance kow who the outfitter was?

It was booked through Robin Hurt. Not sure if he was the PH, but I will ask Jim when I see him. It was an excellent packing job. The semi-clear plastic resembles the interior bag cereal is packaged in. Each cape, skin and skull had the hunters ID number and species name written on it in black marker. I bet the USF&W liked what they saw as well.
