I have had three deer heads, a bear skin rug, and a bear shoulder mount done with them. The quality is always outstanding. Wouldnt go any where else, remeber you get what you pay for.

Just one man's opinion.... but if you are going to dole out the cash duckets to have the trophy "immortalized", why take chances on shoddy work?  There are several EXCELLENT taxidermist in the H-W family.  Drive a little farther and rest assured you will get a quality trophy to last a lifetime, PLUS you support the "team". 
Nothing witty here.... move along.
