AFTER THE HUNT PORTION OF YOUR SAFARI AND BEFORE YOU LEAVE EACH COUNTRY YOU'VE HUNTED IN MAKE SURE TO OBTAIN A PHOTOCOPY OF THE HUNT REGISTER THAT YOUR PH OR OUTFITTER WILL BE FILING ON YOUR BEHALF WITH THE LOCAL NATURE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES.
We will need to know if you are bringing back any of the following animals, because they will require special document handling:
• Primates - Monkeys or Baboons • Swine - Bush Pig or Wart Hogs • Rodentia Family - Porcupine, Squirrels, Spring Hare, Rats, Hedgehogs or Shrews • Viverridae Family - Civets, Genets and Mongoose • A USDA Approved Taxidermist or Tannery must reprocess any porcupine, swine or non-human primates arriving in a dip and pack state into the U.S.
Decide before your hunt which Approved Establishment you will be using. Your professional hunter or outfitter will either offer to dip and pack your catch himself or take you to visit with his buddy, a local taxidermist. Try to talk your PH into visiting at least two, or better yet, three; such firms before deciding if you want your trophies mounted overseas. After making a decision as to whom you want to use - obtain several of that taxidermist's cards and get an e-mail address for them.
