Todd, thanks for posting for me!!
A word or two of advice:
Don't let World Wide Logistics be you shipper of choice!!! I have used them three times, not nessicarily by choice and they fugged up all three shipments
Don't let your Leopard CITES permit expire! The animal rightest in US-FWS took over four months to re-issue my permit!
I had three crates from Taxidermy Enterprises in Bulawayo who did an outstanding job on my cats. Between WWL and South African Airways, they managed to lose a crate ( thank God, not a cat). I have filed claim against them for $12000 which is what SCI says two Cape Buffalo are worth....one of my lost Buffalo skulls was over 41" !!
BTW, I killed these Cats and the two Buffalo in Chirisa, Zim in April/May of 2006!!! Picked the crates up from Coopersmiths, ATL last week!!
ERSS, yep , initially I was very PO'ed but then I realized my Cats were not missing and felt much better. Even tho, it was my best Cape Buffalo missing, if the claim is honored, I can go again!!!
Yep, lots of memories....and at my age I wrote them down in a Journal so when I forget, I can read about it!
