Title: Local taxi recommendations for a nice muley. Bothell wa
Post by: gaolista on October 23, 2015, 06:59:26 AM: I shot my first deer last weekend and it turned out to be a nice one. I'd like to get it mounted am looking for a reputable taxi near me. Anyone know/recommend one? I live in bothell but willing to drive for a good one.
Thanks.

His work is second to none, from what I've seen. He is a sponsor on this website and shares plenty of his work. Check him out!

Look in the Taxidermy Board, lots of names and contact info.

:yeah:

That's what I am talking about!!

I found out about Charlie Smith when I was visiting a friend who has a house full of taxidermy. A couple mounts stood out as especially nice - he said: They are from a guy who lives up in your country. Ever since Dale McWhorter closed up Lacey Taxidermy I have been looking and this guy is the genuine article.

Post by: UWHunter on October 23, 2015, 04:41:46 PM: I shot my first buck this week and I took it to Buzzy Cook in North Bend. My Buddy has used him a bunch and highly recommended him. Based off what he has hanging around his shop I can't imagine being disappointed.

Post by: Bean Counter on October 23, 2015, 08:31:47 PM: A taxi's quality and turnaround time is more than how far of a drive they are to me. Artists that do quality work AND are done in 6-12 months are worth a drive halfway across the state IMHO. 18-24 months is unacceptable to me :twocents:

Post by: gaolista on October 24, 2015, 09:51:36 AM: Those all look great!! I had a friend who took his up to Rods in Arlington and got a couple other recommendations for him so I went up to see his work yesterday and thought it was great. So I left it with him. Thanks for all the comments/recommendations, I really appreciate it! Here is a pic in case you didn't see it on the other thread.
