huntinsonovagun Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I had a deer mounted by a fairly new taxidermist back in 2004. I wasn't 100% satisfied when it was done, but I'm also a lot more detail oriented than most. It was the normal mistake areas- mostly the eyes that I wasn't that impressed with.Anyhow, I now have another deer I want to get mounted, so I've been doing some online research of the same taxi I used in 04. I have confidence in this guy in the fact I don't think he'd run off with my deposit, and from what pictures I've seen of some of his latest mounts he has gotten significantly better. He has since done a little competition and done well (not that that means a ton, although I'm sure he received constructive criticism in certain areas and hopefully improved some on his clients' work).So I'm a little torn. I'd like to think the lacking details in the first mount was directly related to his inexperience in the industry. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobblerroller Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Give him another shot. Like anything else, we only get better with time and it's been 7 years. I would let him do it if the price is right. Upload a pic of the deer? Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 yea i say give him a chance. 7 years worth of mounts is a lot of practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Go back to his shop and have a look at whats hanging. If he has been competing then he has been advised of his ill ways from the past and has improved on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
