I paid a little more than half when I left my buck at the taxidermist. I can't speak for him.....but if it were me.....and a customer wanted to come by and check on his mount....AND give me cash(balance)......i "think" I wouldn't mind.

nctaxi did my piebald hide tanning and did a WONDERFUL job. I've seen his work....and it's outstanding. Having never had a deer mounted.....I went with another taxi a little closer to me who has a great reputation, ALSO. His studio speaks volumes for his work.

If you handle it right.....I don't think he'd have a problem with it at all. Most "craftsmen/artists" (which is, I believe, what these pros are)like showing their work.
