Remember
that really good work takes longer than sloppy work. This applies to taxidermy
as much as anything else. Even though we may not be the least expensive
we feel that the quality mounts we produce will bring you years of enjoyment.
It takes time to meticulously prepare & tan skins. If sufficient time
is not allowed for preparing, mounting, & drying the final product
will reflect this. It takes time to produce the right details, such
as anatomically correct eyes, noses, posture, & hair patterns of the
animal. The old adage, "you get what you pay for" often applies to taxidermy
work. |
Quality
taxidermy, whether deer, small game, birds or fish requires both knowledge
and time. When searching for a taxidermist you want someone that possesses
these qualities among others. A certified taxidermist, as we are, means
they have met certain criteria to become certified. This is an often over
looked quality when searching for a taxidermist. Think of it like this.
You need a lawyer. Would you go to a BAR certified lawyer or just grab
a guy from “Joe’s Law School”? Then why trust your trophy to just anyone?
Take it to a certified taxidermist that you know has the qualifications
to do the job correctly. Ask if the taxidermist is in fact certified. Remember
that you are paying not only for your trophy to be mounted, but also for
the knowledge & talent that the taxidermist has worked long and hard
to develop.
Don't
be afraid to shop around for a good taxidermist. Take some time and visit
different taxidermy shops. Ask questions, look around and compare work.
A quality driven taxidermist will have actual mounts for you to see. Quality
taxidermy looks good and should last a lifetime when cared for properly.
Take the time to invest in a mount which you will find joy in displaying
for years to come. After all, you invested time & money to obtain the
animal, why skimp now?
Give us a call, we’ll be glad to talk with
you. We appreciate the opportunity & take pride in your trophy as if
it were our own.
Thanks, Shawn Scott
