Is taxidermy better done in the country it came from?

I've always had my taxidermy done here at home with a Great taxidermist Brad Stallsworth here in Oregon, but this last trip I was on, my PH was trying to get me to try a Taxidermist close by in the Eastern Cape, I went and looked at the guys work, it looked like crap. We went to Kwazula Natal to visit some friends, I looked at his trophy room and it was excellent taxidermy work by Marakalo Taxidermy/Nolan Human in Bloemfontaine, BUT taxidermy done there bigger crates more shipping cost. I haven't done the math yet but it probably is a break even
Had a spelling error the Taxidermist in Bloemfontaine, is Marakalalo Taxidermy
 
The best taxidermy is done by the best taxidermist - regardless of location.

That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
