Looking for Taxidermist Recommendations
« on: October 17, 2025, 04:43:52 PM »
I'm looking for taxidermist recommendations somewhat close to Everett.  My local guy (Still Life) just retired.
Thanks in advance!

I just checked and they are now retired as well.  Seems like a dying breed unfortunately.

I know it’s not local, but check the price difference and look at wildlife creation out of Hayden Idaho.

Just got a buck back from Trapline taxidermy(cle elum).

I could not be happier with the whole process. 

Highly recommend.

Bummer that Still Life is retired now too. Fidalgo and Still Life were both top notch. Those two will be hard to replace, but I wish them the best in retirement.

Ended up dropping him off at Moro’s.  Owner is great!

Over the hill in Clearlake.  I don't think he is doing mounts but he knows a local.

A little late on the reply.  I've used 10 Point Taxidermy in Marysville.  He's worked on my bear (shoulder mount), two whitetails (shoulder mount and euro), and antelope (euro).  He's also worked one of my buddy's blacktail (shoulder mount), antelope (shoulder mount), as well as a wood duck.  Lastly, another buddy's full bear rug.  All with no complaints and very competitive pricing and fast TAT's.

Black River is one of our sponsors, I believe, and their reviews on FB seem pretty legit. https://www.facebook.com/p/BlackRiver-Taxidermy-100063549523094/
