Take it from me after 1,000$+ of wasted money spend at local what com/skagit bird taxidermist ..must mail it to willow creek taxidermy in colville was. 235$ for a duck. His work is about as good as birdman studios. Avoid Whidbey island taxidermy.
My buddy has taken a bunch of birds up to Colville. It is a long drive but he does great work

anyone tried these guys in bow?

Don't do it. I took my buck their as a buddy talked me into it. I think a doe or yearling form was used and it was harvested during the late season in Nov. It went from large neck to a neck like a stack of dimes. Must have slipped right over the forum. I was way bummed when I picked it up. You can go in and check some of the bird mounts in his shop. He is on par with Over the hill taxidermy in Clear Lake. :yike:
Nice guy but, not my choice for taxidermy. Maybe it will improve in due time. :dunno:

I have two mounts from their and they are both botched ones. Birds that look like their on crack.
Lots of guys like and talk about Leon's in Tri-Cities.

He also uses hay to stuff the body form, um no you need the actual duck form. Hay made the ducks look lumpy. Also for certain ducks your gonna want a precasted head..such h as wood duck, that makes the mount last longer. He didn't use fake heads he used the real been also didn't clean them out making a new home for bugs. He makes them look like a 8th grader art project.
It's actually wood wool, not hay. My snow goose is loosing it's feathers and greasing out. Turning yellow from the fat not being removed. OTH is a money taker as mentioned.

I had him do a bunch of ducks and they weren't fleshed right they stunk of rot and bugs formed. Feathers fell out, he doesn't inject the feet which made them crack. He doesn't pin arount the eyes when there drying so the eyes on the side that's not facing out are closed. Yeah he will make your first mount look OK then after he thinks he's got your buisness he will make your other birds look crappy. I had to leave my thropys there cause I couldn't justify paying 225$+ for *censored*. There are 2 types of taxidermist : an artist , and a money taker. He's a money taker. So the ducks he did do for me that fell apart in less than a month (note nobody touched them when they were on the wall) I had to repay an actual artist to fix but then I had to dispose of them. I can gladly post pics. I just hate to see someone's trophy and masterpiece look bad.
which place are you talking about here?
