No but we can put you in contact with a skilled expert.

Once the fish has been caught, pick the best side. Place best side up on flat board (if possible), glad wrap (not too tight) and put into freezer.

Take as many photos as possible.

Yes, we do mount various birds but you require a Game Bird Hunting Licence.

Choose best specimen, Fold head under wing and pull a woman’s stocking or mutton cloth over bird from head to tail. Try keep feathers intact. Put in freezer until you can get it to us.

Handling, salting, drying, dipping, rehydrating and tanning to mount the trophy are all lengthy processes and hard on the hides. Hides can also be damaged by parasites and bacteria if not attended to immediately. So, it’s simply better to have the hides processed as quickly as possible. Furthermore, if there has been poor field care, or if poor weather conditions have ruined the hide, we may be able to source a local replacement – something that can’t be done overseas.

Also, quite frankly, with crating and airfreight the cost of taxidermy work is costly overseas – and those costs are just unnecessary when you have reputable world-class taxidermists right here. We have a vast knowledge of all local species and sculpt every animal in-house to make sure they’re anatomically correct in every way. Rest assured, we’ll display every muscle in detail so that we can give your trophy a truly life-like representation.

As soon as your trophies are received, they’ll be listed on our incoming register. The listings will include all parts of the trophy. The trophy and its parts are then labelled and the trophies are checked for any damage or possible hair slip. If there is any damage the client will be informed. 

All parts of the trophy will need to be handled according to veterinary regulations. The skull and horns will be boiled, and skins will need to be treated and packed into a container.

Upfront we enter all trophies into our computer database and provide a quote for work (with or without a freight estimation). At this point, you will need to check and confirm that the quote is accurate and advise us as soon as possible of any errors. 

Once you pay the required deposit you guarantee your position in our work queue. At the time we ask for the deposit we’ll also ask you for mounting instructions, unless that has already been discussed. If we haven’t already provided freight estimates, we’ll provide them now. 

The trophy is tanned in-house using modern tanning techniques. Polyurethane moulds are then made according to your mounting instructions. Three weeks before completion, you’ll be notified and billed for the final payment before we finalise matters such as the shipping details. 

Two weeks before completion, we’ll apply for all necessary export documents. Trophies are then crated and collected for freight to the final destination.
