Before the hunt
Safety and qualityEvery hunting trophy is a precious memento of a successful hunt, invaluable to the owner of the trophy. That is why you should always prioritize safety and quality when choosing a taxidermist to mount your trophy. Handing it over to some unknown foreign taxidermist, where you have no chance of verifying the quality of his work, can sometimes be a risky business. Typed words and glossy photographs can be very deceiving, and if you receive a ruined or badly mounted trophy six months after you paid for the job, it is too late to be sorry.
Field treatment of trophies
The correct field treatment of trophies is essential in order to ensure that skins, antlers, horns etc. do not rot or become subjected to attacks by insects before the taxidermist can get to work.
Are you unable to decide how your want your trophy mounted when you get it home, prepare the trophy as if you were having it full mounted. That way you are free to choose whether you actually want it full mounted, shoulder or pedestal mounted when the time comes.
