Leaving Taxidermy in Canada

Leaving taxidermy in Canada is a mistake.  If your hunting in Canada do everything you can to bring it home. 

1. The USA Fish & Wildlife service will charge $75-$155 per trophy for stamping the paperwork to cross the border after the mount is finished.  Basically they are charging you for leaving it in Canada.  However if you bring it home with you there are no fees if the trophy accompanies the hunter.

2. Permit issues in Canada have been a growing concern.  To get a permit for say a black bear or wolf it can potentially add 3-4 months waiting for permits. 

3. Thanks to the exchange rate no taxidermist in Canada will be able to beat a US taxidermist in price.

Save you money and bring you trophy animal back to the USA.
