RE: What do I look for in a taxidermist?
All the above is good.
1. Get references
2. Ask one taxidermist about the other guy you may get some good info here. Someone who badmouths all the other guys I would be wary of.
3. Ask if he sends the hide out to a tanner He should do this
4. There is a big difference in the amount of stiches used in the mouth. Anyone know the numbers?
5. Get a firm finish date Hemming and hawing here is BAD.
