Thanks in advance!

I could not be happier with the whole process.

Highly recommend.

He's worked on my bear (shoulder mount), two whitetails (shoulder mount and euro), and antelope (euro). He's also worked one of my buddy's blacktail (shoulder mount), antelope (shoulder mount), as well as a wood duck. Lastly, another buddy's full bear rug. All with no complaints and very competitive pricing and fast TAT's.
