You have a few options in getting your taxidermy and meat home. We suggest:

1. Bring several large coolers to travel home

2. Complete a meat/taxidermy cut and delivery form. Rack and Reel staff will deliver your meat and taxidermy to local shops. It can be shipped to you from Montana.

3. Alternatively, you may donate your meat to Hunters for Hunger (must be the entire carcass including backstrap and tenderloin)

The hunter is responsible for meat, taxidermy and shipping costs.

Rack and Reel uses several local taxidermists. However, if you have a taxidermist at home that you'd like to use, ask your guide to cape your animal for travel. Taxidermists typically charge about $100 per animal to cape. Caping is not included in the price of your hunt.
