Quality of work is whats important..
If they guy is going to do some great craftsmanship to the mounts, price is worth it...
If he just going to mount them like stick figures standing there... ask about backdrop, terrain, other things...
If he is going to mount them on a pedastool, one crouched, and the other with a slight leap, after a pheasant...
and the complete mount looks good...
Its worth the money...
Bottom line... thats whay good taxidermist have show rooms... look at their stuff and go from there...
Your the judge.. once it leaves his shop... " he cant see it from his house..."
