Taxidermist recommendations around Tacoma...
« on: November 01, 2020, 12:31:56 PM »
Any recommendations?
Natures way is very very good but is $950 now.
Is that standard cost now?

Mike does exceptional work although he’s very busy so don’t be in a hurry to get it back. I’m sure there are cheaper options out there but you usually get what you pay for.

Had a deer & cougar rug done by Zach @ Rainer years ago but haven’t heard or seen any work from him for a long time. Used to do good work🤷‍♂️

The guy who is in back of Muzzleloaders Supply in Puyallup did a decent job on my bear rug a few years ago.

I don't remember the name, but a Taxi in Oly/Tumwater was highly recommended several times in the last couple years.   I'm sure you could Google it and sort out the name.  $650 pops into my mind;
