Before you get your stuff from Africa, go have a look at the work. Call. Price. Pick the three or four MOST expensive. Go Look at their work. Ask for references from people who they have done African work for and go look at what they produce for the customer. Do your homework and you will be happy with the product you receive.
It's nice to keep the business in your own community
but I would'nt limit myself to Florida.Sounds like you could
afford to have them shipped.
Some of the best African work can be found in the midwest.
Good Luck.
Don't drink the water.
Many P.H.'s will try to get you to leave them there DONT most African work from the Dark Country sucks! Bring them home at lest here you have a choice and can talk to the taxidermist personally.
It's like saying who's the best football player in florida. Back in 1994, the best college football player in florida was Tommie Frazier of the Nebraska Cornhuskers at the Orange Bowl. See what I'm saying. You need to go looking at everyone's work no matter what others say or where they are located. Actually i'll bet that there are a hell of a lot more people in Texas that mount those exotics on a regular basis than in Florida. Just because of all those game farms in Texas. But, that doesn't mean that they are all good either. Maybe just more of them. You may have a better chance of finding one there. Maybe not.
hope that I thoroughly confused everyone that red this,
