I got my last one done at Hart's beautiful mount but the nose cracked and there is some kind of glue on the rack, I guess he was in a hurry if the nose cracked it wasn't prepared right before mounting...wasn't thinned enough. I've always been told that the eyes and nose were the two things that weren't real. That they couldn't be saved. ??? The nose is the real skin. The nose pad is a very thin piece of skin. One little slip and you have a hole in the skin. The meat is not as easy to flesh away from the nose as it is the rest of the hide. If the taxidermist leaves any meat inside the pad, the nose will deform, pull, crack or whatever. You can cover the nose with epoxy sculpt and roll a tool across it that makes the imprints of a live deers nose on it, but I'm not real fond of it.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Locally, I would use Williams (Melvin is his first name I think) in Headland. My next one will go to our very own Artistic Whitetails as his work is among the best in the business. I've also been to Stan Gross's shop and his work is very good...award winning I believe.

It would be a little bit of a drive but Lynn Hammock between Auburn and Tuskegee is very, very good. He mounted the first buck I killed with a bow over 20 years ago. It looks as good today as it did the day I picked it up. Longevity is the mark of a great taxidermist. No lip separation, no curled ears, no problems at all. Another satisfied customer of Lynn Hammock. I didn't know he was still around, He mounted a bass for me around 1980 while I was at AU that still looks good to this day. I had other fish mounted by others in that same time frame that have long been gone.

Ive been very happy with the buck my wife killed that lynn did and have personally seen another club members trophy room with roughly 20 of lynn's mounts done over the last 2 decades and they all still look great. Another vote for Lynn Hammock
