RECOMMENDATIONS

·     if it is not possible to deliver the animal immediately, birds and small mammals

can be frozen and transported or sent in this form to the preparation studio

·     large mammals should be skinned. After preliminary cleaning,

the skin is frozen or buried in rock salt so that salt reaches all skin nooks

·     roe, stag, antelope skin and skin of other animals intended for medallions

should not be cut in front but on the back, along the neck (fig.)

DELIVERING TROPHIES FOR PREPARATION

·     personally after making appointment with the preparator

·     if personal delivery is not possible, the trophy should be sent by courier mail

(contact the preparator in advance).

The specimen is best secured in bubble wrap, cooler bag or Styrofoam.

·     Send the trophy at the beginning of the week in order to ensure that we receive

the package quickly

·     trophies from outside the European Union (for example antelopes) must have attached a copy

of the veterinary certificate allowing for import of trophies to the EU territory

·     if the animal comes from the territory of the European Union,

we ask for the hunter’s statement that the animal shot was healthy,

or a veterinary certificate that the animal can be prepared (certificate forms below):
