Jeff Reeves is a great taxidermist.  I don't duck hunt, but I've seen his waterfowl and it is pretty amazing.

Seth Lane produces top notch waterfowl mounts if you want the best in this state.  Prior to Seth it was Avian Artistry by Leon Mathews.  He sold his place and moved to Montana and just does a handful of high end mounts these days.

 :yeah: Seth is hands down the best I have seen.  The problem is he is likely full and not accepting anymore birds currently.  I have a long-tailed duck that I want to send to him, but haven't heard back yet to see if he is accepting birds this season still.

Agree wholeheartedly with Seth Lane.  Fantastic taxidermist, he did a harlequin and a pintail for me in a somewhat expedited fashion right before I PCS’d out of the state while I was in the Army.  Can’t say enough about how great of a job he did on both of my ducks.  Nice guy and it was pretty cool looking at all the birds in his shop he was working on.

Mike Casper in WW is hard to beat.  He is slowing down, but literally has a world championship in the day.  I have more than 25 birds from him and they are quite spectacular.

Love it! That flight pose really shows off the plumage on the back half. Beautiful.
