TROPHY COLLECTION
krugertaxidermy.com trophy collection service include collection and/or import of trophies from any destination in the world.
In South Africa trophies are collected by sealed truck and trailor. Krugertaxidermy import trophies from countries as far as Tajikistan, Greenland and off course all African countries like Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Cameroon, Ethiopia, etc. A well established network of freight agents and customs brokers ensure a sound system for the imports to reach Marakalalo’s Quarantine Facility, registered as a “High Risk Taxidermy Facility”. In other words, krugertaxidermy can import and quarantine products without these products needed to go through an “Irradiation” process.
PROBLEMS
The major problem krugertaxidermy experience with trophies is when a hunter booked a hunt with a Professional Hunter and/or Outfitter/Safari Company that is not reputable. Lost and badly field prepared trophies is the order of the day if you book at inexperience ill-reputed professional hunters, outfitters, safari companies, booking agents and off-course the taxidermist they refer you to.

WHY SHOULD I USE KRUGERTAXIDERMY TO MOUNT MY ANIMALS RATHER THAN HAVING IT DIPPED/SHIPPED TO A TAXIDERMIST IN MY COUNTRY?
By now you have noticed that krugertaxidermy produce excellent taxidermy pieces at a fair price. The introduction page, the page, “about us” and the price lists, you may already be convinced that we should process your trophies.
There is quite a saving if you compare dip/pack/ship cost together with the cost of taxidermy back home to the cost of taxidermy by krugertaxidermy and export of your mounted trophies. On top of that you will receive a top quality taxidermy mount.
Taxidermy quality is just as good if not better than the best in the world.
Another important matter is the complaints by many foreign taxidermists about the quality of the raw prepped hides and the degree of difficulty to work with once they arrive there. In the taxidermy process we immediate treat and process hides/skins for mounting and always have a quality skin to work with.
INSTRUCTIONS AND POSES
This question is a very important and must be confirmed with detailed instruction.
