Recommeded Taxidermist - Namibia
Any recommendations on Namibian Taxidermist.
Shoulder mounts for Kudu, Gemsbok, Springbok, duikker, plus Zebra Rug and tan Ostrich hide.

I'm currently living in South Korea and will be for the foreseeable future. I don't want to end up paying for shipping twice by having hides, horns, etc. shipped to the states just to possible have the mounts shipped somewhere else later.

Any suggestions/recommendations from the forum here greatly appreciated.

Check with Wilko Pascheka at Reiser Taxidermy. They did my zebra rug, tanned all my back skins, and did the skull/horns. The leather work is wonderful, and they were trimmed perfectly. Those skulls are great and could be put up as Euro mounts right now. No overboiling or soaking damageI was thoroughly impressed by Wilko, and while he did not do any shoulder mounts for me (my hunting paartner is my taxidermist here), I did look at some of the work and was impressed. There are several others around Windhoek, but I have talked with other people who had bad luck with some of them.

I agree on Reiser Taxidermy. We visited several "shops" last year and liked them best.
