All Taxidermy prices are quoted in USD, and subject to 5% Goods and Services Tax (G.S.T.)
Documentation and Permits: All documentation and permits prepared at reasonable rates, normally around $75.00. Aoudad Sheep, Black Bears, Cougars, Lynx, Bobcat, Wolf, and Grizzlies require a CITES ($75.00), and all other mounts require an export permit. These are necessary for exportation out of Canada.

Deposit required: Approximately 50% of mount value on all mounts. Deposits only can be a personal check. Payment is due upon completion. For quicker shipping I recommend you send a money order, so I do not need to wait for a personal check to clear my bank.

Delivery time: We strive to have a 6 - 8 month turn around time on rugs and head mounts, and 10 month turn around on half and life-size mounts. Starting at the conclusion of the hunting season and a deposit has been secured (June 15th for spring work, and November 30th for fall work) we will begin working on your mount.

Shipping Charges: We will crate and ship trophies anywhere in the world. All Shipping will be done by Talon Distribution Ltd. 9459-47st Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6B 2R7 (780)461-8750. or 
Rons Wildlife Services. Richmond BC 1-604-207-1017
These shipments will be sent customer collect. Talon Distribution will call you, the client, when shipment is ready to make final arrangements for shipment out of Province or out of Country.

Since it is impossible to determine the condition of raw skins, all tanning is done at hunter's risk.
