Title: good Taxidermy shop on the West Side?
Post by: Smoke on April 10, 2016, 02:44:35 PM: looking for a good shop to get some African trophies done... Going on a Bowhunt in South Africa in June for plains game. Debating on getting mounts done there and shipping them home, or shipping the salted hides, horns and skulls home and having it done here... Decision is gonna come down to price, quality, and ease thru customs.. Any recommendations or experiences would be greatly welcomed... This is a once-in-a-lifetime hunt, so I want the best and easiest I can afford with a retired budget... :)

I believe they can arrange to have the trophies shipped to them so you don't have to make arrangements. Had my Africa animals done over there and did not get near the quality you get from Peters.

:yeah:
Like JBar said visit the shops and see which one meets your criteria. It should worth your time knowing ahead of time who you will be sending the pelts/horns to. :twocents:
