How do you choose a Taxidermist?

[Wolverine-1]

I don't have to choose a taxidermist, cause I do my own. I have been involved with taxidermy since back in the very early seventies, and this is what I have learned. Most hunters do not really know what is anatomically correct with their trophies. That is why there are poor taxidermist in business and that is why they remain in business. I have also learned over the years that anyone can learn the machanics of taxidermy. However, what truely makes an exceptional taxidermist is his or her artistic tallent. Sometimes the price of a quality mount may be higher that we would like to pay, but if done well, will last beyond our life time.

When I grow to old to hunt, I want to gaze upon my mounted trophies with pride and accomplishment, bringing back great memories. Rather than be embarrassed, because I was to cheap to pay for good quality taxidermy. JMHO
