How do you choose a Taxidermist?

I found my stuffer in the phone book and went to his shop to look at his work, I was impressed and in the past three years he has done 14 mounts for me. The guy works at the family florist shop and always uses his florist talents on the mounts, fish on driftwood with lures and line attached,some he has done for me include a boar with drool out of the side of his mouth. a school of three brown trout with a river rock base, a three phesant display with a hen on nest and two cocks flying ( they are mounted on wires and stick out into the room,) two turkeys facing each other with one landing and the other getting up, and the best part is I ended up hunting with him and his son. prices have been reasonable and turn around time unbelievable.
