I hope everything works out for you and the mount lasts forever. I only asked questions because I don't want to see a fellow hunter get the short end of the stick when it comes to something so irreplaceable as a head mount.

I did do some research on taxidermy.net and it appears that some of the newer chemicals coming out are just as good as the traditional methods. I guess my taxidermist has just been doing it the traditional way for so long, he just sticks to what he knows.

Congrats Buckeye!
