Local taxi recommendations for a nice muley. Bothell wa
« on: October 23, 2015, 06:59:26 AM »
I shot my first deer last weekend and it turned out to be a nice one. I'd like to get it mounted am looking for a reputable taxi near me. Anyone know/recommend one? I live in bothell but willing to drive for a good one.
Thanks.

I know it's 2 hours away, but it's well worth the drive to take it to Charlie's Taxidermy in Tenino.
His work is second to none, from what I've seen.  He is a sponsor on this website and shares plenty of his work.  Check him out!

Cool, thanks for the recommendations. He's sitting on ice right now cause he won't fit in my freezer, so hoping to get him in somewhere today.

Look in the Taxidermy Board, lots of names and contact info.

 :yeah:

That's what I am talking about!!

I found out about Charlie Smith when I was visiting a friend who has a house full of taxidermy.  A couple mounts stood out as especially nice - he said:  They are from a guy who lives up in your country.  Ever since Dale McWhorter closed up Lacey Taxidermy I have been looking and this guy is the genuine article.

I took my Muley to the guy in North Bend (can't think of his name off hand) but it turned out fantastic.

I shot my first buck this week and I took it to Buzzy Cook in North Bend.  My Buddy has used him a bunch and highly recommended him.  Based off what he has hanging around his shop I can't imagine being disappointed.

A taxi's quality and turnaround time is more than how far of a drive they are to me. Artists that do quality work AND are done in 6-12 months are worth a drive halfway across the state IMHO. 18-24 months is unacceptable to me  :twocents:
