Trophies home with hunters

Frank, unless you were to buy something small at a gift shop, no trophies on the plane. Here's why:
1. All game MUST have permits and paperwork. In Africa, this takes time. 3 months would be fast.
2. All wildlife must be declared on your US Customs form. Any missing paperwork (permits) and the USDA and or USF&W will confiscate and destroy most likely.
3. The airlines would charge you senseless for a crate of skulls/horns. They're going to anyway but I know of no feasible way to conduct this plan. I wish!!!
If you find a way to do it, register a new business and we'll make you a wealthy man...in short order.
Good hunting,
David

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

I dream that one all the time Frank. Just think if we could cut the cost of transporting our trophies (say 10 for example) including disinfecting, packing, crating, adjustment, excise; franchise; implied; Provincial, Intercontinental, bi-centennial, exorbitant, recourse, flamboyant, local, Governmental, regional, outside, inside, bribe, intentional, unintentional, greed and profit sharing taxes! I could imagine doing all of this and it only costing a flat $1,000. When Hell freezes over I guess
