How do you choose a Taxidermist?

[Brithunter]

Hi All,

Well I went on recomendation on both the mounts I have had done, one I am not quite so happy wiht as he seems to have two price levels. he did the mount for a reasonable price but on picking up the mount the skin on the back of the neck does not lie flat due to the stiching. I saw an example of his work before leaving the head and it was good. My mount on the wall looks good as you cannot see the back of the neck and Muntjac which this Deer is are not the easiest to do I hear. Some get them wrong and they look un-natural then, at least mine looks natural.

The pictures of the Whitetail Buck I have seen look good, I have posted them in the Taxidermy forum, once I finaly get it home to the UK I will be able to examine it properly.
