Shipments From Africa

Taxidermy is much cheaper over there...the added shipping to get the large pieces home does increase the cost but it's still often cheaper, especially with this new CFIA crap. The biggest reason for us is quality. I haven't seen much good work over there (no doubt there is some) and I've heard some real horror stories about mounts. Taxidermy is our memories...I want those memories honoured well. I'm confident our taxidermist will do that. I have to look at these for the rest of my life.

Agreed. I must have been typing while you posted this. The taxidermist that prepared my skulls and hides for shipment had mounts for me to look at and frankly most looked like they were done by amateurs and where not very "life like" at all.

Ok. Well that makes a lot of sense then why you would have them shipped out and done at home.
