looking for opinions here.....

If you shot a once in a lifetime size mule deer or elk.....who would you take it to for a shoulder mount??


Thanks,


Mark
 
Chris Kruger at Krugers Creations. Just go to Sportmens Warehouse off of I17 and look at all of his mounts, way nice!!! Hes done Javelin, deer, pig, and working on a turkey for us. Hes a real nice man, loves his work, and I think is fair price. He also did an amazing mountain lion rug last year for our friend, I wanted to keep it it was so nice!!
Jstmy opinion.....JstMe
 
I would suggest visiting all the taxidermists and scrutinizing their work. Look at their regular customer mounts, and not the ones they have done for ATA competition. Get some close up photos of live deer/elk and compare to their mounts. Most often, you get what you pay for.
 
Weller's Wildlife Studio in Tucson is worth the drive especially for coues........ Thanks, Allen Taylor......
 
Craig at Wildlife Creations in Scottdale does a great job. Can't beat Dan Lee in Dewey for coues.
 
I like what Redrabbit said, look at them all. Compare live wildlife pictures, and then how they do compare color, eyes, form......I just do not look at mounts done for a store and a show.....I go to the shop, I ask to see phots of game that the shop has done for people etc!!! That way your covering all of your basics. One thing I have learned, this type of market gets all sorts of critics, you truely just have to go on what you like and see and think. Other wise you will go crazy hearing this and that from everyone, everyone has their likes and dislikes, so just go with whom you trust and you know and feel that they do incredible work!!

Just give it to me and I'll do just as good a mount as all the above mentioned. I help Weller's when I have a little spare time from the job. I was a professional taxidermist for a long time before changing careers and now, I just do it as a hobby just cuz I still enjoy doing it!! I only do about 7 to 10 heads a year now.
