Let's go a step farther. There are the big 3 for "slippage", hair loss due to bacteria, they are coyotes, bobcat and fox. Taxidermist have more problems from those 3 than all other species combined. When you shoot one, the first thing to do to insure a quality mount, is to leave the field and put it in a freezer. Do not continue to hunt, do not gut,skin, disect or do anything to it. Try not to even handle it anymore than necessary, especially the face and ears. Now let's step back for a minute, find a taxidermist that you like before shooting anything you want mounted. I get calls every year from guys who say, "My mount looks like crap, can you fix it? I shot this ______ and took it to this guy I heard about from_________ and they did a crappy job!" Find a good taxidermist now, who can mount what you want. I don't do fish, I have friends that don't mount anything but fish. Some do great deer but can't mount a yote to save their lives. Do some research before you kill that trophy. IF you find a guy that you like but is too expensive for your tastes, see if you can make payments. Hope it helps
