Last week some a**hole(s) broke into my trophy room and walked off with two of my flat skin rugs from prior trips. Do not carry special "trophy" insurance, just standard homeowners. Each company and policy will be different, but looking at general feedback on how or what parts of the trophy/hunt/taxidermy costs would be reasonable to claim with insurance company based on what others who may have experienced a similar unfortunate incident like this in their past. Since there can be a wide variety in costs associated with African hunts depending on coutry and animals taken this will all be pretty subjective, but I'd still like to hear or read your comments on what would be a way to go in my claims process. For info it was a full gemsbok and blue wildebeest rugs that were taken. willi | ||

Howdy, Sorry to here about your skins and with a little luck maybe you will find them again. I have had some dealings with taxidermy apraisals for many purpouses including insurance claims. It has been my experience that the insurance company will not consider costs to obtain the trophy, just the cost it would take to replace the skins by buying new ones off of the open market. Best case scenario I would expect you should recieve the cost to buy a new skin and then taxidermy fees to turn them into rugs, if this is covered at all on your policy. Costs of hunts to get the trophy are typically not considered. But hey if you do get the cost of the hunt added on to your settlementI wish you luck. Ben | |||

DTala -- yes they took other things as well, but those items are not germaine to the question/information I'm seeking here. smarterthanu -- yeah, i figure they probably won't do anything about the "hunt" costs, BUT I'm not assuming anything and plan to "ask/claim" the world in that regard and make the insurance co. say NO. Was just looking ot see what others may have expereinced and use that possible info as a guide in my own claims process. This will be an ongoing saga over the next few weeks if not months before I'm square with my insurance co. | |||

My only experience with insurance companies and trophy loss came when we had an electrical fire in a bedroom four or five years ago and firefighters pumped 1,200 gallons of water into that corner of the house, ruining (among other things) one of my zebra rugs that was in the next room. The appraiser wanted to give me $300 for the rug until I found websites where similar rugs were selling for $1,000 and up. We settled for $1,100. Bill Quimby | |||

I use Lechner & Stauffer. Very happy..but then again I've never had a claim. They insure both a rehunt AND taxidermy..Is rehunt a word? Steve Formerly "Nganga" | |||
