At one time, international hunter Scott Thompson was under the common misconception to which many hunters fall victim — the belief that taxidermy performed in the countries they hunt is the key to beautiful, well-priced trophies.

With an industry standard anywhere from eight months to two and even three years, taxidermy is a master class in patience.

Today’s taxidermy can be sorted into two categories — classic mounts and custom mounts.

When you opt for a big taxidermy studio, you can reasonably expect it will have the resources, experience, and skill set to create something exceptional, at a fair price, in a reasonable amount of time.
