    Hi,

    I am going to the UK in 2015 to hunt Roe bucks and was just wondering, what is the best way for me to bring back any of the skulls. If I have them boiled before I leave can I bring them on my flight or is it best to have them couriered or are there restrictions on transporting these kinds of things?

    Thanks

    Since you're not leaving the EU there isn't any actual prohibitions I know of that would impede you traveling with a hunting trophy in a fresh or processed condition. It's only in times of trouble like foot and mouth or swine fever or the like that national restrictions are brought in as temporary emergency measures. If needs be you can always consult a local vet and get the carcass certified as a healthy beastie.
