I was at the Mid-West sports show in Minneapolis a couple days ago. I spent a bit of time with a PH from Africa at his booth and commented on the quality of the mounts he had. He told me that they were done in the U.S. by a taxidermist not too far away. He told me that the taxidermists in this country are on average, better than in Africa. He also cleared up a lot of questions I had about shipping, dipping, crating....
The best African mounts (or any other mounts for that matter) that I've ever seen are at the Cabela's store in Owattona, MN. I'm sure their other stores are of equal quality. There's a display of the big 5, including an elephant - unbelievable unless you've seen it.
