"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Exporting hunting trophies
Hi, anyone got any recent experience with exporting a hunting trophy? I have a muntjac head mounted on a plinth which I'm meant to be sending to an acquaintance in Austria, it's two years overdue due to a very relaxed taxidermist, and I'm now struggling to find a courier company to accept it. It appears a number of couriers are now not accepting hunting trophies. Short of driving it to Austria myself (don't get me wrong, I'd love to but can't take the time off work), I'm a bit stumped. Any ideas welcome!

Welcome to the forum.
Have you tried PBS International https://www.pbs-int.co.uk/ They ship amongst other things, firearms and animals so they may be able to help or suggest an alternative.

Are they less expensive than a 1st class ticket ?

Re: Exporting hunting trophies
Update: thought I'd found someone who could send it - Citysprint - turns out they couldn't, and it came back! To be fair they did try and find someone else, TNT Special Services, but they wanted around £400 incl. VAT. So I declined. PBS International have been very helpful and am awaiting price - thanks for the info!!

Re: Exporting hunting trophies
Will they not ship "taxidermy" rather than "trophies"?

Re: Exporting hunting trophies
Might sound daft but would it possibly be cheaper and easier if the acquaintance in Austria arranged a courier from his end?, maybe their carriers have no problem with this sort of thing and stuff from Europe always seems cheaper shipping-wise than the cost of shipping stuff out.
I sold a stack of motorbike magazines to a guy in Germany, it was going to cost around £70 for me to ship them but he arranged a courier for around about £25 from his end.
