Darin Fuson in the Spokane area is great! he communicates well, does top notch work, and is fairly priced. For Birds I used Seth Lane in Finley. Fantastic quick work and excellently priced
If you find one that does a hair on tan in western wa for less than 1,200, please let me know! If you looking for shoulder mounts, there are a few good taxi’s out there, I’ve really liked Zach’s work at rainier taxidermy. But for hair on tan rugs, I had to go to Idaho for a fair price. $350
For a hair on tan....ask your taxidermist to flesh your hide, turn the earls paws, etc and salt it. Pay for his / her time and then ship it yourself to the tannery. You will save a ton of money and get a faster return. My taxidermist stop doing hair on tans because it was not cost effective for him to ship off single hides. If he waited for a full shipment of hides, his customers would complain. If he charged what needed to be charged to make a profit, his customers would complain. Now he just preps the hides and gives them to the customer to ship. In my opinion, it really was a good move. It saves him time and heartache and I get a very nice product in a timely manner.

I have animals with him going back as far as 2015... He is an avid hunter and a good guy, just seems to have gotten side tracked from his business.
