The first concern was to secure the delicate antlers against any jarring in shipping...
Next, the head had to be protected; the animal's long, slender neck presented a shipping danger that had to be protected...
Then the entire head and neck needed to be wrapped to protect it not only from the shipping process, but also from the additional packing that would be required...
Now that the delicate extremities were protected individually, the next step was to secure the entire trophy with bubble wrap to insure against any possible injury...
Because of the unusual size and shape of the ram's head, two boxes were put together to make one just the right size to ensure its safe arrival...
Every bit of space in the box was then filled with P-Nuts to assure that the head would not move and that any outside jarring would never affect the fragile contents...
Finally, the box was tightly sealed and prepared for its journey. Packed with great care and shipped by a major carrier, the ram's head arrived at its destination considerably less shaken up than its owner!
