I just went through this with a PH. I explained to him that my wife and I really wanted to visit and hunt in Namibia, but after a 2009 safari to RSA, my "man cave" is full and and I don't need any more mounts.

He assured me, that NOTHING goes to waste and if I would be satisfied with photos, that was fine with them. Obviously, the costs of taxidermy and shipping is significant, and could make the difference between safari, or no safari.

I plan to go this route.
