| Choosing a taxidermist to mount your trophy |
| So how do you go about picking the right taxidermist? Probably the biggest mistake hunters make is trying to find the cheapest taxidermist there is. Chances are if the price is cheap the work done will be too. Don't be afraid to go to different taxidermists and take a look at their work. If you are serious about getting a quality mount, a good taxidermist will appreciate the fact that you are dedicated in finding someone to mount your specimen properly, and honor the animal as it should be. Quality work, with quality materials and a tanned, not dry preserved hide won't be cheap, but years down the road, your trophy will look as good as it did the day you brought it home. I pride myself in the fact that I stay up to date with the latest innovations in the taxidermy industry, I attend seminars and taxidermy contests to further my skills and make sure the mount that you receive will be the highest quality available. When it comes to your trophy I don't cut corners. |
