I am about to attempt to mount a deer for the first time. Should I buy a complete kit from a company? If so which one do you recommed?

I recently began taxidermy. My hobby has now turned into a part time business. I did my first whitetail with a WASCO kit. It was not the best mount. It wasn't the materials fault though. If you are going to continue mounting. Order all the supplies in small quantities. If you are using this as a trial, order the kit. It makes it more economical that way. I did find however that I did not have enough clay. The best advice I can give is read, read, read and learn some of the different techniques. What I use now is not found in the kits. There are some extra things in the kit I do not use and others that are not in the kit at all. Hope this helps. If you need some more "talk time" from one beginner to another, drop me a line.
