I always like to have a bunch of good pictures of whatever I take in to get mounted.Also I stand right there and watch or even help the taxi measure the bear.And then give me a total price I have to pay when It is completed.That way I know what I am paying for and If I have any questions then he can answer them,like sewing any extra holes etc.
I think a lot of taxidermists are faced with contacting their clients and having to tell them that their bear or deer hide slipped or? I think most good taxidermists don't have a problem with contacting the clients because most of the time the problem is from improper field care.
