Shipping costs
Just curious what some of you have found shipping costs to be from either Namibia or South Africa to the states recently.

I am mainly looking for those that had either euros or hides and skulls prepared for mounting in the States for just plains games animals sucha s Kudu, Wildebeest etc. No special permits or monkeys.

Want to go back over, but I have been told costs to ship have been more then the actual hunt itself.

Just a guess based on my shipping trophies home from Poland, Ethiopia and Pakistan this year... think $2,500 to $3,000 +/-. The problem is a number of carriers don't ship hunting trophies anymore so lack of competition is a boon for those that do. I have found prices have come down slightly since the pandemic ended.

And don't forget the importer fees of $700 to $900.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

That isn't horrible then. I was also considering Spain for one Ibex too.
