bobgaTrophy's have been received
Finally my trophies from last years hunt have arrived and have been unpacked. Pictures to follow soon. To reply to many posts on African taxidermy work, I have to say this about Taxidermy Enterprises: the art work and quality of work IMO was excellent. The leopard mount on a created tree is awesome. The cape buffalo mount is great. Many complaints have been posted on quality of tanning and I have to say my zebra rug is very soft leather and beatiful. The back skin from the buff also came out very soft and supple. Yes, we did have some challenges during the process. Yes, the freight was more than I thought, but all said and done, I did save money on the total process compared to having them done here in the US.

safarimanVERY, VERY Glad to hear it! My stuff @ T.E. is packed up and ready to go. I am just waiting for quotes from several shipping companies that I have contacted. Now THEY are the hold up! I am still hoping someone on this forum will tell me who they have used for shipping that did a good job. Thanks for the update, I am anxious to see the photo's!!
