A perfect example of how less truly is more.

This buffalo European mount highlights the natural beauty of the skull and horns without distraction. Known for their simplicity and elegance, European mounts — also called skull mounts or Western mounts — have long been admired for the way they showcase an animal in its purest form.

Clean lines, honest detail, and a timeless style that lets the story of the hunt speak for itself.

The 5 Big Advantages of Tanning Your Trophies in Africa ✨

There’s a long-standing belief among some overseas taxidermists that “African tanning isn’t up to standard.” That may have been true decades ago — but not anymore.

Today, the taxidermists in the TTS program use only original BASF (Germany) tanning chemicals, combined with an advanced modified alum process. The result? World-class tanning quality that ensures your skins rehydrate beautifully and your taxidermist back home can start mounting immediately.

Here’s why tanning in Africa is the smarter choice:

1️⃣ Peace of Mind
Your hides are fully processed before leaving Africa. Any damage can be identified early and repaired — or replaced — before your trophies ever cross the ocean.

2️⃣ Save on Costs
Tanned hides, bleached skulls, and ready-to-mount capes take up far less space and weigh less than dipped & packed cargo. Lower volume = lower export and import fees.

3️⃣ Save Months of Time
Your skins must undergo dipping & packing for export anyway — so why not use that waiting period productively? Tanning in Africa shortens your turnaround time dramatically once the trophies reach your taxidermist at home.

4️⃣ Flexibility for the Future
Fully preserved, professionally tanned hides can safely be stored for years. This gives you the freedom to delay taxidermy back home due to timing, space, or budget — without risking your trophies.

5️⃣ Professional, High-Quality Results
With today’s premium chemicals and improved African tanning processes, your finished products are top-quality and ready for world-class mounts.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The feedback we love to get!

Hello,

Pardon my tardiness in replying.

Quentin, our animals arrived safely last Wednesday. The crate was a bit damaged (see the attached pictures)but there was no evidence of damage to the cargo. Thank you for your help in getting them to us.

Brighton, the mounts were awesome. One point Dan wanted to let you think about…the holes in the plate on the back should be in line but fashioned so that the animal is square with the world when it hangs instead of semi cocked (see the pictures). Also the screws that hold the plate on should be flush so as not to scratch the wall when attempting to hang.

Richard, thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to use your taxidermy and shipping services. Your people are amazing, and very professional. Everything turned out perfect (see the pics)! We would recommend the AHG service to anyone looking to have their animals processed in a timely fashion for a fair price. We plan to be in Africa in the future and will again seek your services.

Thank you also for the additional gift of the book featuring African Game. It is a nice addition to our African library.

Best wishes and happy hunting!

Kind regards,
Dan and Michelle Luba

DIP & PACK – The First Step in Trophy Preparation

Also known as raw prep or solution-treated, dipping and packing is the essential process your hunting trophies must undergo before being shipped internationally.
This process ensures all bones, horns, skulls, and hides are clean, disinfected, and free from organic matter — making them safe for export.

The disinfection involves careful soaking in specialized solutions, followed by thorough drying and professional packing to prevent contamination or damage.
When exporting to the USA, all dipped and packed trophies must be consigned to a USDA-approved facility (tannery or taxidermist).

Remember, proper dip & pack means your trophies arrive home safely — clean, preserved, and ready for the next stage of the journey.
