Very nice mounts!
I just booked a trip for gemsbok, blesbok, sprinbok, and maybe kudu. So did you have the capes mounted in S. Africa and shipped as mounted specimens? If so, how much did the taxidermy and shipping cost?
Thanks for any info.

Yes i had everything mounted over there it is alot cheaper. Just make sure you go to the taxidermist they are taking your skins to check his work and get prices. some guys will charge the same as here but some will only charge a little over the rand. I paid right around $2,400 for 8 shoulder mounts and one full body.
Shiping was like $1,400 but like i said i had 9 mounts it goes by weight so the smaller the crate the less it will be. I hope you have a good trip.
Where are you going and who are you using ?

Nice mounts GembuckHunter, Which Taxidermist did you use? I'm going to Limpopo region for a Kudu, Impala, Blesbuck, Springbuck hunt in July and would like all four with a shoulder mount. Thanks!

This sounds pretty cheap even for South Africa.

I went to the web site and looked at the price list and I came up with 3260.00(still cheap)

Who are you hunting with?

I will be hunting in a camp located on the Limpopo river.
