What to look for when picking up a mount?

[NastyNate]

I'm picking up my first hog mount. Is there anything I should be looking for before I hand over payment? This is my first so don't really know what I should be looking for.

Thanks,

NastyNate

Well for one the quality. You shouldnt be able to see any repairs. Also the face make sure its realistic you dont want some kind of guffy face

Thanks Andy. Should there be any concern for insects picked up in the shop or anything else?

My God!! That lion is outrageous! If a taxidermist handed that to me i'd laugh and ask seriously where's mine. I literally wouldn't believe he was serious.

Yea look for insects or eggs but its hard to tell without knowing what you are looking for

well ktkt70 that is one of those liberal cats that liberals are trying to protect. See they are good kitties unlike those evil cats the pro-hunter guys scream about...

I say this..... If your first impression pleases you; than be pleased. Taxidermy is art, don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
