On the two safaris I've been one, Tanzania & Namibia, the dip and pack was included. Shipping back to the states was extra. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

I was charged about $200 for a kudu, gemsbok duiker and two springbok....$800 seems outrageous That said there are special requirements for pigs including warthogs and importing them are undifferent regulations.....I'd like to hear what others are being charged for "pigs". /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

That sounds about as much as the trophy fee. Hell, you could get a shoulder mount cheaper then that. Graybird "Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after ... it's the reckoning." | |||

I do quite a bit of buisness with several different dip pack operations. Here are some 2006 USD prices: Dip Pack Pretoria: 65 bucks any plains game animal Capricorn Taxidermy Northern Province: 40 bucks for the skull and horns and 30 bucks for the cape. So 70 bucks total (bushbuck) Ace Taxidermy in Bela Bela: 68bucks(bushbuck) Safari Taxidermy Northern Province: 120 bucks (bushbuck) This is for the dip pack only. There may be an incidental paperwork charge for the entire lot of game per hunter. This would likley be under 100 bucks regardless of the amount of game, one animal or a dozen or more. So to answer your question yeah you have been screwed! | |||

In 2003 I paid $50 an animal for dipping and crating was 20% of the dipping. In 2005 it was $70 an animal and crating still 20%. Niether included shipping. | |||

Wow, I paid less then $300 for 5 animals is South Africa last year and another couple hundred for shipping. That is insane. The danger of civilization, of course, is that you will piss away your life on nonsense | |||

Was there a minimum/flat rate dip/pack fee for the overall hunt? That is not common in Zim, but IS common in several countries... Otherwise, you were charged about 8-10x the usual rate. Use enough gun... Shoot 'till it's dead, especially if it bites. | |||
