Well, somebody burned my kudu horns last trip. Had to take an old bronze cleaning brush with power drill just to take the charcoal down to brown (from black) to where some gun stain would make them plaque ready. If it wasn't Karoo the safari company did it. Either way, "NOBODY" was responsible. I posted about this 2007 result in 2008. _______________________ | |||

Karoo Taxidermy is in my local town and I know them and their management well. I use them for all my own and my clients' work and do recommend them. PM me if you want more details. | |||

If someone knows, what part of the boiling of horns/skulls happens at the taxidermist/processor? In other words, if a set is over-boiled/burnt is it more likely to have happened at the safari/hunting operation or at the dip-and-pack site? (Does further boiling/cleaning have to happen at the shipping taxidermist before they smother it in Sevin-Dust and throw it in the box/crate?) (Had the issue come up years ago and still don't know -- fingerpointing/denial by all involved and I had to fix it myself.)  http://forums.accuratereloadin...=355108768#355108768 _______________________ | |||

I copied this from what I've found out at another forum -- caveat emptor. ________________________________ Thank you for the info. I now know NOT to blame the safari company for burning horns to charcoal in the flames. My taxi here immerses skulls individually (horns protected) in water over a gas ring burner, changing water out as needed, not an iron bathtub fired by wood and multiple heads smashed together in water that cannot have been changed out. Tannery over here received and beautifully processed capes/skins, and it was Karoo Taxidermy that basically threw another shipment sent to them with trophies-to-be, some already wall-ready in a wood crate by my first safari outfit. Not only did they get carbodust over everything not bagged, they broke shield mounts and sent the lot on to my taxi/tannery in a cardboard box. Lousy service! Barry _______________________ | |||
