Any taxidermist recommendations around the puget sound?
« on: November 26, 2012, 01:22:28 PM »
Have shot a few really cool looking birds lately, and wanted to get them mounted but couldn't find any taxidermists around the area that did birds.   Anyone use anyone they would recommend around the puget sound region? oly to everett?

Thanks,
MC

I'd call Willow Creek and see about shipping.  http://www.wataxidermist.com/wa-taxidermist-SHIPPING.html

They don't do birds anymore but they do ship them out to a reputable taxi elsewhere

I've used Cascade Taxidermy a couple times with no regrets. He's in Puyallup.

Before limiting your choices to your area I would look for quality. I use Leon Mathews in the Kennewick. He has done 6 or 7 for me so far and has another 9 in his shop. Here is a few pics.


A few in progress.


A few with extra art.

I know Alden personally, he takes his work very seriously and is an amazing taxidermist. look at his website to see some of his work. He is located just south of Olympia.
