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?

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

 

If you are interested in shipping your mount to Willow Creek Taxidermy, please call to discuss documentation details and the most economical shipping method.

What did you shoot?

[Tealer]

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.

Peters Taxidermy
the best around in my opinion
have taken 11 birds in there all awesome mounts
great people to
you get what you pay for

[skidynastar33]

What's the average price for a duck? Just wondering

[duckmen1]

165 to 185
At Peters

[Tealer]

A good mount on a mallard should run 225 to 350 depending on where you take it and the scenery.

Got any pics of peters work?

[duckmen1]

I do have pics but my computer won't let me upload them for some reason.
If other members could show some of there pics that would be great.
Peters will do all kinds of poses and scenery they will do anything to make it how you want it.

I can tell you where NOT to go. Just not in a public forum.

A public forum is the best place to out a bad taxi. Better then another 5 guys finding out the hard way.

I agree. Lets hear it

[duckmen1]

Finally able to post pictures because new computer system. Hope you like peters work. I do. Hope the angles of the pictures are good.

[duckmen1]

Anyways you can have any sort of habitat you want I just like basic with driftwood because its easy to keep clean.

Looks like ok work for 165.

[duckmen1]

Pictures are good but I think all mounts are better looking in person. Also they are a little dusty. I think it's time to clean them a bit.
