Charlie does amazing work. I would for sure look him up.

  Don't want to take anything away from the others, but I saw a couple mounts in Oregon that were just "speaking to me."  When I ask who?  The owners said it is a guy from your country named Charlie Smith, he is in Tenino.

Charlie just finished up this blacktail for me. It doesn't get much better than this.

 Now, if I could just kill a deer like that......

Ah, I guess you're in front of me. Its a '14 buck, but I didn't take it into him until I picked up another buck last year.

I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings here but when it comes to blacktail NOONE does a better job than Jack Paige who owns mineral lake taxidermy, that man lives eats and breaths blacktail, its the only place we will take a blacktail.. bucklucky does an awesome job, natures way does a Damn nice job to.. but Jack is the tops

Looks as though all the major players are represented in this thread.  All of them mentioned do exceptional blacktail work. No doubt my uncle Jack Page (Mineral Lake Taxidermy) represents the blacktail species well with the highest level of artistry.

In the past he has shoulder mounted a Columbian and a Sitka black-tail as well as an Entiat mule deer for me.  When he semi-retired from doing shoulder mounts back in fall of 2014 he agreed to mount one more quality Sitka BT for me prior to retiring fully from shoulder mounts. Soon after I had called him from AK, caped out the deer head; and told him I was transporting it home he broke the news that he had to steer me elsewhere.  For what its worth, the person who impressed him most, trusted, and recommended to finish out my Sitka BT was someone listed here several times.....Charlie's Taxidermy. 

Obviously he didn't have to twist my arm.  The cape has been at Charlie's shop ever since.  Tick Tock, Tick Tock.   Can't wait!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good Blacktail taxidermist?

There's a Taxidermist in Ridgefield wa that is supposed to be awesome...  Alot of guys that spend BIG MONEY hunting AK, Africa etc use him..  To this date I haven't seen anyone in Cowlitz or Lewis County worth a crap.  There is a guy in Forrest grove oregon thats good too.  I much prefer a skull mount myself.   Skull mounts always look better longer.

Rainier Taxidermy does excellent work, I've taken every deer to him along with my dad and brother. Have him do your meat too, he will do just as good a job as the mounts

Limits, it's nice to know jack personally steered you that way your uncle has done so many BT for our family, it's nice to know he finally hung up it completely but sucks at the same time. He will have plenty of time now to chase those monsters that he always talked about..

Fidalgo Taxidermy, Notice it is not hanging in my game room

You all are in line behind me! Oh wait mine is done  i'm going to be grabbing it soon

This mount is a little more palmated then a blacktail but still
