A lot of good info here, and I'll add a bit about what happened to our group (4 hunters). We had our trophies for European mount all boiled, cleaned, bleached, veterinary stamps, export papers filled out, etc. and packed and showed up at the Airport in Windhoek. NO GO. New weight restrictions meant they wanted a couple grand in excess baggage, so we pulled the bags off and our PH had to have them shipped cargo. So we did not get to bring our skull mounts back with us, which would have saved each of us $300 smackers. Oh well, we tried.
As far as shoulder mounts, we each left a couple at Nyati in Windhoek, who will finish them up, pack and ship them to us. Expect them early next year. Taxidermy price for my Gamsbock, Impala, and a Mt Zebra hide tanned was $1100 (Shipping to be added). Waidmannsheil, Dom.
