[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 5425739, member: 10019"] Here is an example of what I’m talking about. Had a guy bring me a deer, second mount he ever had done. First one was out of state, it’s on the right. Mine is above in the left. [ATTACH type="full" alt="850FCED3-ADED-4E52-B913-82AB28B21DBF.jpeg"]149019[/ATTACH] They were mounted a year apart, mine being the most recent. He never once questioned my price or anything. He got home and later sent me the pic and this…“I didn’t realize how good your work was until I hung it up next to this one”. It’s very subjective but when a taxidermist does the basic mechanics right (reference, proper skin and form work) then 99% of the mounts will look good and the untrained eye will notice the difference side by side. Also, it’s killing me to look at the mount I did for him and see the hair laid against the wall and not behind the form🤦🏻♂️ [/QUOTE]
