The taxidermist/freight forwarder were asked to make the warthog tusks into a shield etc. The rest of the trophies were dip and pack only.

Guess what they wanted for that shield?

Something like $800, and prices that were similiar to full shoulder mounts for each dip and pack item.

I told them at those prices they could keep them as I wasn't paying. I think I had to pay a still high price, from memory $200 for the shield, and a more reasonable price for dip and pack.

Perhaps the missing bits were revenge? But I doubt it as everything was already sealed and packed.
