Title: Sheep taxidermist
Post by: Hawkeye270 on March 07, 2017, 03:06:22 PM: Hi guys,
Curious which taxidermist in the state you'd have mount your ram? Looking for some recommendations with pictures if possible. Who is the best? I'm sure there are some good taxidermists around but who would get your business for that once in a lifetime ram???

Post by: Magnum_Willys on March 07, 2017, 03:28:50 PM: idk How his sheep come out but I would make one call to Mike at Natures Way Taxidermy and if he says he can do a good job I would take it there.

I'll say Rick out of Cedar River did some amazingly cool stuff to the back of my dall that is a pedestal mount. He made it look amazing.

Love Brian's ram and appreciate Rick's work. If I get another ram it's going to cedar river :tup:

Post by: carpsniperg2 on May 29, 2017, 10:06:03 AM: Charlie's Taxidermy one of the few guys that can do it all. Some peoples elk look good, some people deer look good. All of Charlie's stuff turns out amazing.

He has my sheep right now.

Post by: Ridgerunner on May 30, 2017, 02:39:49 PM: Thanks for the compliments on the mount. I wanted a pedestal mount, Rick came up with the idea for the back of sheep all in his own and did it all himself. I was blown away when I picked it up, he turned a once in a lifetime hunt into a once in a lifetime mount too, it's very cool, never seen anything like it.

Post by: BKMFR on September 09, 2017, 06:31:28 PM: Look up Dean Haun in Thompson Falls Montana, has a ton of awards, small operation and does a lot of high end sheep from all over north America... IMO no one compares...\I highly recommend...

Post by: CaNINE on September 12, 2017, 07:12:56 AM: We have some talented taxidermists in our state for sure but if I'm ever fortunate enough to tag a trophy class sheep I'm sending it to someone who is nationally recognized as a sheep expert. Dean Haun of Thompson Falls Montana has many awards for his sheep work and would be my first choice.

Post by: bobcat on September 12, 2017, 08:18:56 AM: Ric Shirrod in Tieton did my Cleman Mountain sheep, and my cousin's the following year out of the same unit. Ric has done a lot of sheep mounts and I highly recommend him. He's on this forum as "Elkstuffer."
