Just for the record..I didn't post to step on toes..I'm a firm believer that good taxidermists are worth every red cent they charge. They earn it...I mounted two heads for a couple of friends back in the early 70's and they almost drove me crazy with the "is it ready yet" phone calls and I told myself way back then I'd never, ever mount another head or anything else for anybody but me..and haven't and won't.
