Love my beautiful Bear they did a great job.
Took my first bear here and they did a great job. Timely turnaround, and great detail
He did a great job on our dall sheep and caribou. The attention to detail and customer service was top notch and he was very quick on the turnaround. We had our mounts back in 5 months
They did my coyote, fox, otter, marten, lynx, wolf case skin & did awesome job & wolverine rug. Couldn’t be happier for their expertise, patience, & knowledge. I would recommend them for any hunter or trapper main prizes
Do not use this guy! Crook. Brought him 4 caribou and hides. Said 3 of the hides were "bad" with no proof of it (I hear they can sell hides up there) but magically one was good, and it was the first hide shot by the way. We provided him a full body caped out hide but when got it back finally it was cut way short and couldn’t be put on a full shoulder mount back home. Never asked for the hide to be trimmed. 2 of the guys in the group paid for a Euro mount at his extremely high prices. Sent those to us with just the skull whitened and the antlers cut off. No way to mount the antlers so have to take to another taxidermist to complete the mount. Communication throughout the whole process was terrible and what a terrible lack of quality work. Will take advantage of the out of town hunter. BEWARE!
Turnaround is fast and overall work is good. Ive had a few small issues like stitching showing on a caribou nose and small patches of fur randomly missing on the face of a bear hide but their velvet preservation is top notch. Id choose another shop for skulls I had a bear come back over cooked. It was chalky, still had grease all over, had a K9 that was completely split, a few random holes on top and a tooth socket that was cracked open with bone pulling away. Wasnt horrible but way too many small things for one skull.
Sent him 3 caribou with hides 2 years ago. Had them back in Texas on the wall in 5 months. Incredible work and good customer service, velvet preservation was top notch, even where it was split. Planning another trip this year will definitely be using tundra again.
