Pre-Hunt Services at The Artistry of Wildlife

BEFORE THE HUNT: Regardless if this is a once in a lifetime hunt or just your routine excursion, with a little prep ahead of time, your trip will go off without a hitch.
After an exciting adventure enjoying the sport you love, who wants to end their vacation with the headaches and frustration of trying to get your trophies home?

LET US HELP YOU: Contact us at the "Artistry of Wildlife" .  We will send you customized tags with all of the necessary information preprinted on them. This information will include your personal dossier, the customs brokerage of your choosing, and the "Artistry of Wildlife" info needed to expedite the shipment of your trophies. Then all you need to do is attach one tag to EACH skin, skull and set of horns that are being shipped. 

TROPHIES FROM OUTSIDE THE USA: The customs brokerage you choose will handle the importation of your trophies. They will contact you when your shipment arrives. The customs broker will then assist you with any of the required documentation to release your shipment. After they receive payment for THEIR services they will forward your trophies to our 
studio.

ALASKAN TROPHIES: Our studio recommends using "Alpha Fur Dressers" 1901 W. 48th , Anchorage Alaska 99517, phone (907) 868-3227.  They are located just 2 miles from the airport.  They are an independent tannery that will eliminate the inconvenience of expediting  raw skins. You can make arrangements with them for the tanning and shipment of your trophies to our studio. Payment for "tanning only" is made directly to their company and will be deducted from our charges.

IN THE STUDIO:  The " Artistry of Wildlife"
When the shipment arrives in our studio, we will do an inventory of all items received. We will then contact you to inform you of the arrival and finalize your instructions for the creation of your trophies.
Take the time to look through our site to get ideas of what you would like. 
Planning your desires ahead of time, for your artistic creations, will facilitate their completion.

INVOICING DETAILS:
