Didn't take me anytime to find your buckpost, actually like 30 sec prolly cuz I remembered seein it somewhere in a mount thread recently. took me awhile cuz I was busy worryin about something more important.... I don't think you are seeing the taxis point of view as you aren't one. Let me explain it in an easier way...
- Poor mounts getting good reviews = more poor mounts done by poor taxidermists (which results in more hack shops and less income for the quality taxidermist)
- Poor mounts getting bad reviews = more quality mounts by quality taxidermists (which results in less hack shops)
- The other florida buck post is a much better example of this, as all the taxi needed on this threads mount was some good reference and the major things would be fixed.
- Little things like reference aren't a big deal but simple things like jagged ears, no ear butts, and drumming is just SLOPPY LAZY taxidermy.
Maybe this is hard to understand but whensome of abig public hunting group sees poor mounts as being good its like saying..... O go have your car engine rebuiltlike this.It got fixedsuper fast and did a great job... However you don't know what the inside of your motor is even supose to look like but hey it runs fineso it must be quality built.
Taxidermy is a profession just like any other and quality taxidermists take pride in what they produce. Quality taxidermists are not animal stuffers, they are wildlife artists.

If it was caped properly, you should see nothing.

It wasn't really a question but you took it as one and felt you could answer iteven though you know nothing about stitchingcapes so do you see where I'm coming from. You gave bogus info.
Ok one last attempt.....
- You are an arborist (early-in). So if someone showed you a pic of their prized rare species(trophy) tree orpretty yard full of trees they just had trimmed by a poor arboristand looked poor, you are telling me you wouldn't say something to them to prevent them frommaking the same mistake when they get their nexttrophy tree trimmed knowing that a hack did their trimming the first time????? Just think about it. I feel like I'm beating a dead critter here so I'm done. WCL
You seem determined to skirt the point I've been trying to make. I guess you just ignor what I've already said, and it doesn't/won't change. You just used poor judgement, plain and simple. Andfor whatever reason, yourefuse to admit it.I'll live with that.
As far as my comment on stiching goes. You're correct, I'm no taxi, but I do know certain proper procedures regarding cape prep, asI've watched professional guides do it several times.These are are the guys whogive you what you'll have to work with.
Also, the guywho said"Can you take a pic of the neck of the deer and post it up for me please? I want to see the stich job" is indeed asking a question regarding stich work. My comment "If it was caped properly, you should see nothing" is certainly a reasonable answer to that question. Me being a taxi or not! My answerwas fact, not opinion.
Lastly, if someoneshowed me (being an arborist) a pic of work done by another tree man, and I saw it didn't agree with the way I would have done it, NO I wouldn't say that to the person. Idon't slander other peoples work. It's buyer beware out there, and if someone needs to learn the hard way, so be it. BUT, by the same token, if that same person said, "Jeff what do you think of thework I had done on my tree's"? I would THEN, andONLYTHEN, give them my thoughts on their tree work. Now do you understand?
