MOUNT CARE

Below are some tips to keep your mounts looking as nice as they did when you recieved them back from the taxidermist. If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call.

* Avoid hanging your mount directly over a hot fireplace or fish aquarium. High heat and/or
   humidity are key factors in ruining a mount.

* Make sure your mount is fastened securely to the wall. To do so, first make sure your
   nail/screw is fastened to a stud in the wall. Second, make sure the hanger of the mount
   is securely attached/hanging to the nail or screw. (make sure the screw is not hanging on the hair)

* When your mount is on the wall, make sure the eyes are level. This is critical for a good display.

* Smooth the hair down between the mount and the wall with your fingers or a butter kinfe.
You do not want hair stick up, it gives an unnatural look.

* Avoid direct sunlight on your mount.

* Clean regularly. To do so, dust the mount off using a dust cloth or feather duster. Make
   sure to dust/groom the mount in the direction of the hair patterns. You can also use compressed
   air to blow it off once a year. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR ON BIRDS! (just the feather duster)
Clean the eyes by misting Windex on a Q-tip and wiping the eyes clean.

* Keep cobwebs off your mounts!!!  These bring other bugs around which can eat the leather
and ruin your precious trophies.
