UglystickIt 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.

PAHunterHi 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.

thornellGreat news! It is a wonderful feeling to break into those crates.

L. David Keith7mm, 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
