It will probably take about 2 weeks to cross the ocean. Then it will take some more time to clear customs. I would advise you to use a customs broker.

Hi 7 Mm Guy:

I hope the hides were salted well for that period of time. Juts remember you can always get another cape if one is ruined.

I had to replace a Kudu cape, wart hog and imapla, all different trips but still a pian in the butt. All different outfitters also.

Regards Jim P.

7mm, If your crates shipped around April 21st, then I would say they came over by air. Sea takes about 30 days unless they're on a light cargo ship. Regardless, Fauna & Flora are Custom Brokers, and your in good hands. It may take a little time for the USF&W service and USDA folks to poke and pick through your trophies, but once they release them it should only take a week to arrive from NY to WY. I received word today on my July trophies. Will be in NY in a couple of days. Don't know why you had a two year delay but hopefully everything will be OK. Good hunting, LDK

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
