I have cleared three shipments through Atlanta, all skulls and finished zebra rugs. My next shipment includes salted hides. Same procedure? | ||

yep, same procedure I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same. | |||

Same procedure except legally all salted hides have to go to a USDA approved facility. Some agents will let you pick them up and some won't. Technically they aren't supposed to but some will. Just depends on who you use. Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | |||

I use the U S Fish and Wild Life Service and customs within 50 feet of each other at the Atlanta Airport. They are a short drive from the cargo docks. Generally takes less than an hour if you have complete the forms in advance. Just wasn't sure about the salted hides. Thanks. | |||

I know that the USDA will inspect them if you bring them back as checked baggage. As long as nothing is amiss they will sign you off. I did it twice about 10 years ago. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||
