I have had work done that is on the lower to middle end of the spectrum on price and most of that particular taxidermist's work is good, but not great  A blacktail and a bear rug and euro elk.  I actually think he is the most cost effective place on earth to do a modified Euro if you like his style with it.

I however have had some  work done by a slightly higher priced taxidermist, roughly 20% more expensive, and the work is all of 20% better if not 40% better.  It isn't until someone points out the differences in the less expensive taxidermists work that I begin to take notice.  Now that I know what I am looking for and my own little pet peaves I am a little bit more critical.  I also notice that the higher quality work holds its integrity for many more years than the average work.

I hope thats not what she charges everyone and that was your price out the door.  Hope she is not trying to make a living charging $325 for a Deer Head.

The few I am close too do not do it for a living and hence lower than average price for better than average work.  They are artists and enjoy the work.  Very inexpensive and very top shelf work for the two reasons mentioned previously, not relied on for a living and doing it as a artist who enjoys the craft.

POst up some good close up pictures and lets see how good they are. I dont beleive anything until I see it. From my experiance they wont be as good as one lets on .
