Irish PaulMoving to Germany - trophies?
I have moved from California to Germany, and will now reside outside of Stuttgart in Kirchheim u. Teck.
My residential belongings will be shipped from CA to here next January.
I will have some mounts coming, my European Widgeon duck mount and my whitetail deer mount. Hopefully I will be able to add 2 wild pig mounts before then too.
Will there be any problems bringing in finished mounts to Germany in my shipping container?
Thanks in advance.
Paul.

GerryPaul,
I've moved a number of times across the pond with trophies, prepared skins, bird mounts, skull & shoulder mounts and have never had an issue.
Unless the animal is listed with CITES and is indicated as endangered, no problem:
Cites-Listings.Pigs, ducks and whitetail deer certainly do not require a license. Otter, wolf and beaver do, get obe from your Game and Wildlife office.
Good luck in Kirchheim/Teck, nice little town, volcanoes and good hunting in the surrounding areas like the Suebian Alps.

Irish PaulThanks a lot guys.
I was a bit worried, especially since the whitetail I shot was the first deer I aimed a rifle at, and he is a beauty.
Also, the European widgeon was one of onle 2 taken at our duck club in 35 years!
My waterfowl taxidermist, Steve Eberhart, is a true artist, and it would break my heart to leave the duck behind.
Paul.
