The quality of your finished mount is determined by the way you treat the specimen in the field.
In the view of the many factors which have a very difinite effect on the final results of tanning and/ormounting, such as primeness, general condition of specimen, climatic conditions, and lack of knowledge and facilities in the field by the individual, we assume no responsibility or gaurantee to the results of any finished specimen.
