I am moving and a majority of my stuff (including my european mounts - african plains game) will have to be in storage. Is there any special way I need to store them? (They will be in a storage unit) They will be stored in Oregon. I guess I'm worried about changing temperatures causing condensation. Any advice?

How about this: contact a local sporting goods store in OR or AK. Pick one's that have been in business a long time and should have no future problems. Make them a deal: they hang your horns up in their store until you can ship them home or in AK, bring them home. It will save you $$ on storage and the worry about humidity, rats/vermin and other possible problems. Get a signed letter from the store owner stating their value (for insurance purposes) in case someone steals them, fire or damage. Don't leave them too long. 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."
