When looking for a quality taxidermist the one thing you need to check on is also their specialty, this guy maybe awesome in birds and charges accordingly, this guy maybe awesome in fish and charge accordingly. Go look at their work ask questions, find out what their turn around times are, I know of an excellent taxidermist he just got one of my friends cougar done he had it for 3 yrs 6 months and 14 days. Find out if they do all work themselves, have an assistant. To find the taxidermist that best fits your needs is a hard thing to find. Once you do though you will be happy with the end results. Good Luck to you.
