Pretty much a year later my trophies are crated and awaiting my instructions which will be sea freight to NY. I'll post costs from here forward for the benefit of comparisons and of course trophy room photos when they are on the walls. It will be so nice to reaquaint myself with my new furry friends.

A YEAR !!!!!! Tell me that was full taxidermy

Yes it was full taxidermy.

Who did your taxidermy?

LifeForm Taxidermy.

I'd love to hear the total shipping costs.
What kind of mounts did you have done?

I'll post shipping costs when I get them, which should be soon.

1 kudu shouldermount
1 eland SM
1 gemsbuck skull
1 blue wildebeest skull
1 blue wild. rig trimmed in leather
1 blesbuck SM
1 springbok SM
2 impala pedestal mount on same pedestal
1 zebra pedestal mount
1 warthog skull mount
1 zebra backskin
1 kudu skull

A year is not a problem. I have 15 shoulder mounts there from safaris in 2002 and 2003! All are done now, and are getting to the shipper. I would be interested in knowing who you are using to ship the trophies. I am going to use Safari Cargo and Flora & Fauna. Haven't got the final quote yet though.

I am using both Safari Air Cargo and Flora & Fauna as well. My crate is packed and I will get an email the day it goes out to the shipper. Claire at Lifeform has been super every step of the way. From keeping me informed of where we were in the process to being very sure about confirming mounting instructions and receipt of payments I have never felt out of touch. I'm getting a quote for sea freight.

Just got notification today my crate of capes and horns arrived in Atlanta. 361 days since I left Zim!
