Re: N.Z. taxidermy...
Take it to Frank Gilbert (Fur and Feathers) in Surrey if you want great work. He does all my work. Gander is so so. And yes I've looked at a pile of his work. Frank has re mounted a number of Gander mounts.
He currently has a 1/2 life sized Tahr, Transcaspian Urial ,Persian Ibex, Warthog and a Blesbok on the go. (I was there 2 hours ago) He's done a lot of Tahr and Red Stag.
doesnt matter what kind of bullet it is, as long as it weighs 180 grains its DEADLY, even on ass shots....Todbartell-2009
