SIT STORIES: Episode: 2

2 Jun 2023

Once your trophies have been collected by our Skull Squad, they are delivered to our veterinary approved Dip & Pack facility. Here they are carefully checked, photographed, and logged into our management system. Thereafter they will undergo all the necessary raw processing to prepare for taxidermy and / or export.

Get to know our Dip & Pack manager, Ross, as he takes us through the ins and outs of this very important system.

This process includes:
  • Checking each trophy part against the receiving register
  • Creating a client identity number
  • Logging each trophy part into our system
  • Cooking and cleaning of skulls
  • Drying skulls and skins
  • Scratching skins
  • Applying pesticides and powders

"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.
