[QUOTE="bigtex, post: 5425142, member: 2245"] Those mounts look "ok" but are not show quality. A "show quality" mount takes a lot more time to do than the average run of the mill mount and most customers don't want to pay for the extra time and work that is involved. It's all in the prep of the mannequin that makes the difference. Your mounts look like they have had the bare minimum in that respect and they lack detail in the eyes, mouth and ears. A lot of taxidermists are simply taking on more work than they can handle and the quality shows. Not throwing off on your trophies, they do look "good" and to the average person they would look great. Ask your Taxidermist how much extra would it cost to do a show quality mount, if he says that what you get is as good as he can do I would look for someone else next time. [/QUOTE]
