I'm in bit of a rush because the deer was taken in the rain, transported in the rain, and caped in the rain. I have no garage and nowhere I can get it dried out. I have salted it to buy myself some time. The one actual call I have made to a taxidermist sight-unseen turned out they were accepting no further work this year. Not sure who to call next. I would like to get some personal testimonials but find it awkward because of all the site sponsor taxis posted on this site. Don't want to step on toes, and of course there are mixed reviews. But I would appreciate any and all input so that I can go ahead and get it in somewhere.
Thanks in advance for any info!

If I recall you are in the Seattle area so I would give Michelle or Bucklucky a call. They are south a bit but I don't think you are going to find many people who wont vouch for them on this site. Check out their picks on the taxidermy thread and give them a call.
I have seen work by both of them and they both do quality work.

check out the Rainier taxidermy. he is located on 8th ave s roy wa he is in my opinion the best around! :tup: plus he still has reasonable prices too. the first picture he did a couple years ago and the last two are also his mounts and there about 20 years old still look beautiful no cracked ears or missing hair. truely life long lasting work. :twocents: :twocents:
He is the best around. Dropped off my buck for a Euro yesterday. I am sitting below 3 different shoulder mounts Zach did right now, one over 14 years ago that still show no sign of age.

Where are you located? It's hard to refer you to a taxidermist that is close to you if we don't know where your from.
I am located down in Rochester (16 miles south of Olympia) Exit 88. I have quite a few pictures in the Taxidermy Forum. Here is my website. I don't have a ton of photos on there yet. I havn't had time to update it in several months. (360) 704 - 0034
