Getting trophies back into the states...

[Mr. 16 gauge]

So once the safari is done, how difficult is it to get the heads back into the States? I've heard that there can be some difficulty, and that theft is a major problem.....is this true? Also, is it easier to have the capes salted and brought back to be mounted here, or is it wiser to have it done in the country of origin and then shipped here in to the States?

Finally, what are the average costs of having the heads mounted in Africa (I'm thinking around $500/head?)

Thanks in advance...............
