SIT STORIES - EPISODE 1: Collections

Collections is the first step in the taxidermy process, and it involves making sure that your trophies are clearly tagged and carefully transported to our Dip & Pack facility.

In the first episode of the series - our logistics manager, Morgan, takes us along for the drive as he completes a hunting trophy collection.

The following steps are taken to ensure that your trophies are received correctly:
Trophies are checked to ensure all trophy parts are clearly tagged.
Hunting paperwork is supplied by the Outfitter for each client.
Trophy parts are compared against the client’s hunting register.
A Splitting Image Taxidermy Receiving Register is completed.
Trophies are carefully loaded and transported to our Dip & Pack facility.
Trophies are received, photographed, and logged into our system.

Splitting Image Taxidermy travels across South Africa, at no cost to the client or outfitter, to ensure that your trophies are timeously, legally, and safely collected and received into our system.

If you have any questions about this process or if you would like to arrange a collection, please contact sales@splittingimagetaxidermy.co.za.

"To Potential Clients of Splitting Image Taxidermy. Please allow this letter to serve as a recommendation of Splitting Image Taxidermy, which mounted the trophies from my three safaris. In each case, I was very pleased with the quality of the taxidermy work, the timelines in which the trophies were completed, and the reasonableness of the charges. I have found Douglas Cockcroft, Warrick and all of those associated with Splitting Image Taxidermy to be very responsive, honest, straightforward and a pleasure to deal with. The quality of the taxidermy performed by Splitting Image Taxidermy is superb, very detailed and very lifelike. Splitting Image Taxidermy is very familiar with the necessary permitting and shipping requirements involved in exporting trophies from South Africa to the United States, including exporting animals requiring CITIES permits. Please accept this as my absolute and unqualified recommendation of Splitting Image Taxidermy. Sincerely yours,"

Roger A. Key Mr.
