Flyway Taxidermy

In 2016, I brought a wood duck to Jerry to be mounted and have never received it back. Despite reaching out multiple times to get the duck, I’ve had no success. The communication has been very poor, and the customer service has been extremely disappointing. If you are unsure where to bring your duck, go elsewhere!

I couldn't be more grateful to Jerry. This bird was the last hunt I had with my Father. Jerry brought the memories to life. I can't thank him enough for the amazing work that I can look at everyday.

Jerry is a true artist and brings life to taxidermy. Had a couple of ducks mounted but Jerry took it to the next level. I wasn’t expecting the final piece. When it came out I broke down, the majestic beauty of the mallard can still the sternest of hearts and this did just that. The duck is alive again, its like I could feel its pulse. I’ve cried twice in my life and the second time was with the duck in my hands the other was when I shot my dog (I missed the duck) but I don’t want to talk about that. Come through and get something taxidermisided – although he wont do Grandma.

It took over 5 years to get my 2 ducks and 1 goose done. 69 months to be exact. They are terrible at answering/ returning phone calls. I would email/ call/ leave voicemails without response. Luckily I was able to get their personal cell phone numbers. Finally last week, I called and asked for an update and was told my birds were done and ready for pickup! I am told Friday would work to pick them up. I arrange to take the day off of work since it is an 11 hour drive. The following day I receive a text that Friday will no longer work as they had prior obligations. I ask about other days that week since I have family in the area who could pick them up but it wont work for them. I ask if the birds are finished because I am skeptical and am told they are finished. Since I had already taken a day off and lined up other reasons to be in the area I went anyway. I show up Friday and they are there and open! They were shocked to see me unsurprisingly and my birds in fact were not finished (painting not done). They had blatantly lied to me. I was done waiting and I was already hours from home, so I took my birds. Avoid taking your birds here! Go to Mikes Pro Taxidermy, Artistic Compositions Taxidermy, Monteith Taxidermy, Top Notch Taxidermy, just to name a few. All of these places do top quality work and are honest  people.

Jerry did an amazing job on my pheasants that I had done. Jerry is a true artist and was totally worth the wait!

Ive had Jerry mount several ducks over the years! He's the best at his craft!

Jerry does great work! Beautiful mounts and reasonable price!
