Shipping costs

[grayghost]

You asked about dipping, packing and then shipping from what I read in your posts, so I will attempt to answer those questions. Dipping/packing will vary from Taxidermist to Taxidermist and country to country, but will average $100 per head plus or minus $15. This includes boiling/bleaching of the skulls, tagging horns. Fumigating hides/capes and tagging. Shipping will be out of control in some cases so I recommend hiring a Customs Broker. I use Fauna & Flora (John Meehan) but there are several excellent companies. They dicker the price if needed so you aren't charged $5,600 for a $1,600 shipment. If you are going with another hunter, combine your skulls/hides together and split the cost which shouldn't run more than $1,600 if that much. BE SURE each of you has your own game list. Do not combine all game under one persons name. You will have your trophies seized by the F&W Service. Good hunting, grayghost
