Guys,
I received notice my capes and skull are ready for shipment from South Africa. My intention was to have the work accomplished in Germany, but since I have to leave next month that won't happen. Now I need to find a taxidermist closer to home that has experience with African trophies.
Can anyone recommend a company that has experience with this? I want a shoulder mount for a Kudu, warthog, Impala, Blesbuck and a rug made from a Zebra hide. When they are completed I will need them delivered to Giles county.
Thanks ahead of time.
Steve

Lifelike Taxidermy in Crossville, Tn. He has a deer head of mine now. The guy had lots of big game mounts there, including African game. He does animals for people all over the country, and ships them.

Have them done in South Africa and shipped here. I got some buddies that made that mistake of having the capes shipped here one time. They have them done there now.
