"We will continue and make a booking for your Consignment on the first available flight.


I will send your flight details shortly to you as well as to Coppersmith."


I'm hoping just under 2 weeks from now I'll be hanging and displaying the taxidermy work from my first South African hunt. Awaiting these mounts is almost as exciting as awaiting the departure date for the trip.

Happy to say, 11 months and counting to the next departure date. :rolleyes:
 
Exciting times! It will be Christmas in July!
 
Yes sir it's ChristmasChristmas
 
I remember waiting on my first shipment. Just about lost my mind while Coppersmith worked their magic.

Can't wait to see the pics.
 
I got my trophies last month from my first hunt last year. I used Coppersmith as well, they were extremely efficient and easy to work with.

Nothing like opening that crate up. Hope you enjoy the moment.
 
Man I love that stuff! Post pictures..
 
Awesome! Who did you use for taxidermy?

I went with Trophy Solutions. After doing some tours of taxidermists, seeing TS's operation sold me. They were competitively priced and the work they were doing as we walked the floors was top notch. Great communication along the way as well.

Appreciate the info. Doing my research before my trip next March, so I'm looking forward to seeing some pics of your mounts!

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
