Top Waterfowl Taxidermist???
« on: January 03, 2010, 10:03:32 PM »
I have a few birds lined up and was looking at some new options for waterfowl taxidermy.  I wanted to see who were some of the top prospects in the state for doing quality waterfowl?  Any info would be appreciated.

h20,

I do decent birds, but one of the best in the state would be John at WC Taxidermy, a great guy to talk to and an awesome bird guy.

IMO hands down.  John Nabb @ WCTaxidermy. 

No, I am not just saying that because he sponsors this site.

I just checked out another thread with some pics of a drake mallard he did.  Gotta agree with the above coments.  WC in Colville... the guy's got a gift.

John's posted a bunch of his work on here.

Leon Mathews of Tri-City Taxidermy does killer birds, he did one for me last year, only took him about 5 weeks.

I have a brant being done right now from last season.  I found a guy east of Lacey.  It was supposed to be done in August.  He thinks he might have it done in January now.  We will see.  Thanks for the advise.  I will see about dropping one off with him.  I am going to buy some taxidermy supplies and mount up a few over the winter and see how they turn out as well.  My really good ones I will let someone with a bit more taxidermy knowledge take care of those.
