    Taxidermy pricing

    it is a matter of opinion...we have reputable taxidermist in SA (ask all the neighboring countries, where are their trophies done?...), like PH's and Outfitters. Now, commission is paid to Outfitters, yes, but it's like 5-10% of the taxidermy bill...so, if you think it is waaaaayyyyy to...
