see my thread below. R ****************************************************************** R. Lee Ermey: "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle." ****************************************************************** We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

I went to Zim in June 2004. It took over a year to get my trophies back. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

I hunted July-05 and my raw trophies arrived in NY mid Jan-06, so about 6-months. Buzz Charlton uses a fellow PH, Andy Hunter, for the dip/pack, and I can highly recommend them both. Before booking, I would ask the outfitter (agent) what their average shipping time was last season, and veirfy w/a few references. | |||

As with Bill C and many others, N'gagi and I both used Andy Hunter as well. He is very efficient and gets it done quickly. I would suggest using Andy if possible. Tim | |||

Jim I hunted Zimbabwe last April. The trophys were shipped with Taxidermy enterprises of Bulawayo. I have just recieved confirmation that the trophies are in transport, and should be here in about a week. It seemed like an awfully long time to wait for me but maybe this is typical. So i would say 9 or 10 Months. www.davewzimbabwe.com | |||

in 6 trips into zim it varied from 6 months to a bit over a year. somewhat depends on what you shoot. most stuff doesn't give any trouble, but babos, warthogs things like that can slow the process down. cities animals slow it down even more. | |||

Jim, Things go slow in Africa. My Buffalo took 1 yr. 3 mo. too arrive in the states and when I did get a notice that they were being sent to the shipper, that process took 6 mo. I used Taxidermy Enterprises, they stayed in constant contact with me and the workmanship was fine. They just have no sense of urgency in Africa........Bob | |||

I hunted Zimbabwe with HHk in July 05. My trophies included a leopard, warthog, bushpig, Sable and some other stuff and it took a little less than six months. Stuff from Tanzania took a year plus. South Africa was almost two years but that was finished taxidermy . | |||
