[mdbuck5x5]

Anybody know of a good taxidermist around Spokane that can do a whitetail shoulder mount? The guy that did my muley doesn't do mounts anymore! Any info. would help. Thank you!

[Camp David]

There is a lot of Taxis on here....shoot them a note.  I'm sure that searching past posts will also give you some good info

I also had Jeremy do my elk last year and he did great work. Heck of a nice guy. He is also doing my buddys bear and my whitetail.

 Thanks for all the suggestions guys I appreciate it. I ended up going with Fusons.

[huntnnw]

there is some shotty work by some of the above mentioned..I am a detailed oriented person and I would never pay for some of the crap I have seen

[WAcoyotehunter]

All Seasons Taxidermy up in Usk WA is good and affordable.  I've taken a bunch to him.

Darrin Fuson has mounted a few bucks for me. You wont be disapointed.

Not tryin to bash the local guys but all my bucks go down to Utah! "daydreamn" does the best work ive ever seen.  Send him a PM if interested.  Definately worth the hassel of going out of state!!  Not tryin to start a pissing match, just my

Really was only one guy in town that was world class... that was Scott at Custom wildlife art..hes no longer doing work. He was an innovator and world champion at his work. I have only found 1 guy in spokane that has the detail and time put into his work that I would take anything to and thats Sylvester in the valley. Other than that I go to Dumont in Libby, MT

[mdbuck5x5]

Huntnnw I will not disagree with you there, Scott did some great work. My muley from 2004 and my dads bull from 2005 that I just posted on here was done by him and they are fantastic. The only problem with him I had is it took me 3 years to get my mount back and my dads bull took almost 5. He is a super nice guy and all but the business people side of it definitely needed some work.

Obviously I'm a little late, but Josh's Taxidermy out Kettle Falls does good work.  I know its a little farther north than Spokan but closer then where I'm from and I drove a lion from Longview all the way over to him, then picked it up with a Uhaul a drove it back finished.  Although seeing some of FS Taxidermy work on cats here on the westside, I'm liking what I see.

[huntnnw]

I will not take anything to anyone who tans themselves, also people who dont buy the aftermarket septums. Josh tans himself

Scott was waaaay behind on his work and  saying he was a nice guy??

[Michelle_Nelson]

Why not?

also people who dont buy the aftermarket septums

WTH is an aftermarket septum?  We mount dead animals we don't work on cars.

[Ballance1]

All those world class taxidermists out there that tan their own hides and cast their own septums with dental acrylic etc. must be terrible.  Good thing there are aftermarket parts for those that like to plug and play or snap together

[GoldTip]

Scott from custom wildlife art was a master, of that there is no doubt, but yeah his turn around time was rough for sure.  But it was without a doubt, artwork.  Jeff Sylvester does real nice work here in Spokane as well, he's done a few europeans for me and I have looked at stuff in his shop and it's real clean work.  You mught talk to bucklucky here on the website, I think he occasionally comes through Spokane and may be able to work something out with you.  His work is beautiful as well.

I have several mounts done by the above but would never again. He can be very good when he wants to be. Bear rug took over 4 yrs and still was not done so we finally got it back and took to Dumont's in Libby. I take all my stuff to John at Dumont's now.

[CoryTDF]

Thanks for all the suggestions guys I appreciate it. I ended up going with Fusons.

Good choice he did a bear rug for me and will be doing my Muley mount this year. I LOVE my bear rug.

I think they do by far the best rugs.

  Where have all these good westside taxidermist been my whole life?  When i needed a good one quick for a lion mount I couldn't find any to save my life, now I know or a few.

[whacker1]

Dave Hubbard & Chuck Berg at Advantage Taxidemry have done a Shoulder mount for me and 3 European Mounts.  They do good work.  Let me know if you want contact info.  They are located between Davenport & Creston.

[huntnnw]

Dumont in Libby did my whitetail...It would be hard pressed to find a better rug guy..if I had another done thats where it would go

Sounds like there are a couple of others who might of experienced the true side of this guy.  What a first class jerk!  That guy owes me big time!!

[Ridgeratt]

I have a shoulder mount done by Scott. Its is good work but as stated he is slow. Over 18 months and that was cause I was over checking often. He won the cover of Mckenzie and he copped an attitude about his work.   

[CAMPMEAT]

I know there is a tannery in Kettle Falls and he gets alot of hides from alot of taxidermists. You wouldn't even know it was there if you drove past his business.

[hunter-4-life]

I take my work to Randy Steele in Nine Mile Falls. He has done 4 shoulder mounts for me and they all turned out great.

[huntnnw]

I dont take any peoples word on taxi work...look at buckluckys work and his eye closeups...there isnt many taxis who do it right. I ve heard friends say so and so does great work! then I see stuff and about fall outta my chair..stitch lines.horrible airbrushing, wrong forms, tons of clay and epoxy etc

[NWBREW]

I dont take any peoples word on taxi work...look at buckluckys work and his eye closeups...there isnt many taxis who do it right. 

That is exactly why I drove 3 hours and past many other taxi's to have him do this years whitetail for me. If you want my business you have to be damn good at what you do.

[huntnnw]

I drove to libby to just look at his work before I sen thim anything

[bucklucky]

Hey Shane , is that the Taxi that Eastmans uses?? When I run over to visit my buddy I was going to try and stop by and take a look .

[BULLBLASTER]

i had a muley done at Knopp in spokane and it looks like *censored*! if i would have known better i would never have walked out with the mount (first mount and i was young). i will never go back there, you can see the skull plate around the antler bases and there is no nostrils. they are full of clay. the seem is very visible down the back of neck also.
i really like the whitetail and bear rug that jeremy did though. whitey is an early season buck and no seems are visible, i think the nose and eyes look real good too.

I am not sure, but I think its another one in town. They did the 3 antler buck that was shot outside of hauser lk.

Wow 3 antlers huh? Never heard about that one. I guess I should ask my buddy who lives in Rathdrum if he knows anything!

[BULLBLASTER]

i have heard of a few 3 antler bucks from the hauser lake area.

[huntnnw]

there was one taken this year near post falls with 3..it was on here... big 5x5

the hauser lk one scored 236" I think

[Ballance1]

There was a unicorn buck shot up in Bonners ferry that was done by wildlife recapture who does eastmans stuff.  It is on the big buck tour 2012

[huntnnw]

Thats them

I have seen Cory's bear rug.  If the rest of Fuson's work is as good as that rug, I would not hesitate to take it there...

All Seasons Taxidermy up in Usk WA is good and affordable.  I've taken a bunch to him.

   I went and talked to that guy one day.  He was very RUDE and all but ordered me out of his shop because I was asking what kind of work he did.  He was full of him self.  I would never take anything to him!!!
