Thread: Bringing back trophies in NZ

Declare it at customs and they will take it off you and fumigate it, for you to collect in about a week (can't remember how much I had to pay). But when I dropped it off at the taxidermist, was told that the guide was shit, and the cape really should not have made it into the country. Was also told that my cape was very marginal in being able to be used, but he managed to suss it out for me

Who was the guide?
