Jeff Reeves at True to Life Taxidermy.  He really does great work...His deer mounts are some of the nicest I have seen.  His shop is in East Wenatchee on the north end in baker flats.

I have driven by there and wondered if they were any good.  Have you had them do anything else?

Yeah....he did a deer for my hunting partner 2 years ago and it was amazing.  I hope to have him do some birds for me this year.  I won' t use anyone else as long as I live in the Wenatchee Valley.

Do you upland or waterfowl hunt?  CAn't wait for a few more months to start putting the hurt on some ducks/geese

I upland hunt.  I have never had the opportunity to duck or goose hunt on a regular basis.  Don't have a water dog and just recently bought a little boat.  I would love to get into it though.  ;)

Don't know exactly...but the taxidermist believes around 120lb bear 2-2 1/2 years old. 

I was going to do a little bear rug, but the taxidermist convinced me to do a full body with that size bear.  I am extremely happy he talked me into it.....cause it turned out great and is a perfect size full body bear to have in the house.
