How To Ship Deer Taxidermy Using Crate Services

There is nothing like hunting and catching your very own trophy. If you are like most, the excitement in seeing that beautiful deer is gratifying. Whether you need to ship your trophy from the hunting location or are moving cross-country, it is important to use crate services when shipping it to your home. Here are some tips to help you avoid any damage to your taxidermy.

  • Use Well Made Custom Crates: There are no two deer heads that are identical in shape or size. Some are wider and longer than others. They are awkwardly shaped at times. Taxidermy is  delicate and shhipping using the correct size crate is crucial. Because, no two are alike, a custom crate is the best option when shipping
  • Mount The Heads And Secure: To avoid  movement  during the shipping, it is important to attach some sort of mounting to each head. A good example is using high-quality plywood. This provides a sturdy platform for the taxidermy. It is also recommended to support the heads within the crate using   packing peanuts. Extra space can be protected with styrofoam sheet, this prevents rubbing during the move.
