adirondak is the place, cheaper, and way better and more realistic fish mounts.
Dont't catch um all

not really sure, i dont like replicas, i think they look really fake, but they do last alot longer, but i have skin moounts that are over 20 yrs old they are still in great shape, just dont hang them where the sun will bake them all day

Not sure where you have seen your replica's from BUT, there are different levels of grades of replica's everything from a stand replica to a museum grade quality replica and everything in between.  I have both replicas and skin and NOBODY can tell the difference if anything EVERBODY loves the replica's.   So No if done proper they do not look "FAKE".
Taxidermy is about making things come alive, the replica's I have look alive.

there are plenty of taxidermist around pulaski that do just as good if not better work for 13-14 a inch, his deer do look great, but they all do when they are first done, i think his fish doont loook so hot, that 1st walleye looks terrible, and he says no gurantee on the tanning of the hide, for 800 bucks he better nt mess that up or it wont last 4 months

NO TAXIDERMIST can guarantee a hide.  It is impossible.  I am a graduate of the Rinehart School of Taxidermy and have done Whitetail mounts for years, NO ONE CAN guarantee a HIDE.  Now a guy can say he will replace a hide and try again but to guarantee one , absolutely not.  I am not sure how much you know about this subject.  I am leaning towards not much.

i know that for 800 bucks you better know how to tan a hide, hows that, i have 3 buddys that do it, do i do it no, so if your gonna sit here and tell me that you think 800 bucks for a deer head is resonable than you dont know much

Nothing worse than working hard to harvest a trophy animal and then throwing up when you get the mount back.  I learned the hard way on my first buck.  Ever since then, I've taken my heads to Whitney's Taxidermy in Granville, N.Y and now when I look at my deer heads I don't think to myself "I wish I hadn't paid so much", instead I say to myself "What a beautiful mount!".

Not picking on you Adam, but you haven't seen good fiberglass reproductions if you think they look fake, but you are right, bad ones do.  Good ones are out there, but like anything else, you have to shop for the right artist. 

I think I have only seen a handful of skin mounts as good as this repo.....
