the BS about a mount only looks good if it takes a year to finish, is just that BS.
I hope you don't think that is what I was saying. Just from the guys I have talked with told me that quick turn arounds are usually done with preservatives and the hide is not properly or professionally tanned.......this turns out to be a problem years down the road. Just relaying my experience with taxidermy guys I have spoken with. The main guy I talked with has been doing taxidermy longer then I have been alive so I took his word on it.
