After the hunt is done the next step is to have a professional taxidermist create a very special mount for the hunter. Each one is an individual and as unique as the hunter and the buck itself.
The mount is the final step for a memory to last a life time. So many do not think about it at the time but sometimes there is the shock of reality of, that is not really what you expected the mount to look like.
Just a few observations I have seen over the years for the hunter to look for when choosing a taxi and pose. For the taxi I like someone who is competetive and enters contest so others can judge their work. Their name and reputation will grow with this type of competition. Sometimes they can try and be a little creative and it does not always turn out as to what the hunter may expect. For some you get to choose a pose from a book, this does not always reflect on what you can expect. Hopefully the taxi has several on display, even works in progress that you can look at.
As for the hunter, do not make a hasty decission. Think about where your mount will hang and if it fits the location. Study other mount works and make an educated decission. Price does not always guarantee a quailty mount.
I think I have found a good taxi and will continue to use his service. But I would like everyones input as to what to look for when choosing a taxi and or pose.
