UPDATE:
This group is meeting in N.Y. We have been offerred free overnight accomodations at a "mansion" in the Hamptons. The following day we will proceed to J.F.K. Airport and take South African Airways direct flight to S.A. The R/T ticket costs $1234.
We are using Air2000 to facilitate firearms in and out. We have consolidated the # of gun cases for convenience. One person declares all the firearms in one case regardless of who's they are. We split the Air2000 fee by 3, coming out to about $40 each.
The drive from J'Burg Airport is 3.5 hours to Chris' concession.
We have a plan that can potentially save some money off taxidermy. Some hunters are going to purchase new representative mounts of the animals they take from a US taxidermist. The cost per mount is less than 1/2 the price of bringing back your cape and horns and paying a taxidermist. Others are bringing back the capes only and using skull plates with horns that they purchased here. As long as the horns are the same size, the whole mount can be put together for $400, still less than bringing back your whole cape and horns and paying for taxidermy. If this doesn't sit well with someone they can feel free to bring back the whole thing, or have it mounted there. This is just an option for those who burned their budget on the trip.
We can take more hunters - inquire here!
