Hi ,we will cape and deliver your trophies to a taxidermist for either dip and pack or mounting them and then use an export agent to send to an agent of your choice in the USA to clear them and send to you or your taxidermist. | |||

If the trophies are skull mounts (prepared there) have you considered just bringing them back yourself on another trip? I brought back my moose antlers from Sweden that way and cleared them myself through customs. I posted about my experience here: Importing moose antlers from Sweden to USA Jeff Leopard, Hippo, Croc - Zambezi Valley, Zimbabwe, 2024 Reindeer & Geese, Iceland, 2023 Plains Game, Eastern Cape, 2023 Buff - Zambezi Valley, Zimbabwe, 2022 Muskox-Greenland, 2020 Roe buck and muntjac in England, 2019 Unkomaas Valley, RSA, 2019 Kaokoland, Namibia, 2017 Wild boar hunting in Sweden, 2016 Moose hunting in Sweden, 2014 How to post photos on AR | |||

With deer ( skulls ) I don’t think you need anything " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

I took 3 roe deer in England last year & brought the horns and skulls back with me on the plane. My outfitter boiled the skulls and prepared a letter stating as much. I had zero issues with customs in Atlanta and the agent did not want to see what I was bringing back. The outfitter's letter stating the skulls had been boiled & cleaned from all flesh was enough to satisfy the customs agent. | |||

I spent several months researching this and here is what I found out. Granted this is for just skulls and antlers. If you want mounts that would be different. You can hand carry them back but if you want to do it properly it is not practical because you need to make arrangements to meet with Customs, US Fish and Wildlife and the Department of Agriculture. So, I decided to ship mine. I spent several months calling all the of agencies involved and the process is fairly straight forward. In a nutshell there are three agencies involved and this is what they are looking for: US Customs – Wants to confirm that you have declared the item properly, then they will send it on the US Fish and Wildlife. US Fish and Wildlife – Wants to confirm that what you are importing is legal to bring into the US, you had the proper licenses to take the animal, and is not on the protected and endangered list, then will send you on to USDA. They will want to see an letter from the outfitter stating what the species is and that you were allowed to take the animal (a proforma invoice is what is usually used) US Department of Agriculture – Wants to make sure that the Trophies, have been properly cleaned and are disease free. (This can be a statement on the proforma invoice from the outfitter, or this can be a letter from a taxidermist) There are services that you can hire to handle the import and paperwork, but I chose to do it myself (using my shipper as broker) because I did all the research. And I am cheap I have done this twice, both shipments of 3-4 large Red Stag Skulls/Horns with no issues. If you want to bring more than just horns, it gets much more complicated. | |||

Gathered some information,figured What to do or have done. It is my understanding that Chinese Water Deer if not cared for quickly have a tendency to have hair slippages. Salting as quick as possible will help but not known until hides are tanned. | |||

Also was advised to try to pick up a few extra Chinese Water Deer capes just in case | |||

The hair is very long and "loose" - when the bullet hits you get a huge spray of hair. If you wanted a decent cape my guess is you'd need to get it off and in the freezer within a few hours. Very few people here salt capes. | |||

How do you keep it frozen from the UK to the US, then through customs,etc, and onward to final destination? Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP | |||

You can’t travel with frozen skins legally so they need to be tanned and sent over. Or mounted here and sent over. Whatever way they need go through a export/ import agent and fish and game. | |||
