    Tips for trackers, etc.
    Knives are a great selection so I'm told!

    Tip your trackers and guides!!! And don't let Africa do the taxidermy work! Know who is importing your stuff before leaving. Customs will be happy to trash it. I can always tell who tips right when the import crate hits our taxidermy room. If you don't tip right your hides and skulls will not be packed right and will have bugs. Tip good and your stuff will be immaculate.

    Last year has 2 guys go together on a trip - all their stuff is crated by the same people. When the import crate arrived at my door one man's was perfect, the other was full of bugs. CDC forced us to burn 2 sables, 1 kudu, and a waterbuck. Guess which one tipped.

    Have fun!

    As far a the taxidermy, there are some good ones over in RSA. I was of the above mindset too, but after touring the facility and seeing and touching their work, I chose to have mine done there. I posted some pictures in 09-10 when my stuff got done on here that you may be able to find. I can find the name if you like. I wish you wouldve reached out sooner, I have a whole binder worth of information I couldve shared with you. Have fun
