couesaholic Report post Posted January 4, 2005 mark at wildlife creations does a great job. He has already done one of my coues and I just droped off another. He specializes in full mounts but will do anything. He has a showroom with many mounts to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowsniper Report post Posted January 4, 2005 I also suggest Mark Plunkett at Wildlife Creations. That's where I just took my coues. He also did a great job on my wife's bull elk. Duwane Adams has Mark in his book on page 118. He is located in Phoenix at 51st ave and Thunderbird. He charges $525 for a coues. Bowsniper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CB1 Report post Posted January 4, 2005 I'll second that, Pat Newman in san manuel is the best i've seen, coues deer are his specialty, he comes up to phx all the time to pick up, i would'nt mount a coues without looking at his work..........BH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted January 4, 2005 Weller's Wildlife Studio in Tucson is also excellent. And they just signed on to be a sponsor on this website. So please, give that some consideration when looking for a taxidermist. I have known the owners of Weller's for many years and they really do some nice work. And they have excellent turnaround time, avg is 6 months. Check out their website: Weller's Wildlife Studio Amanda Here are some photos of Coues deer they have mounted: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted January 4, 2005 Those are beautiful mounts. I recognize that bottom buck as Dan Kings. Does anyone know why his buck was not recognized as the nontypical world record? Maybe this should be a different post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wetmule Report post Posted January 4, 2005 Chase, I would second or third Pat Newman, although there are lots or good coues taxis. around. You can see a couple of his mounts on azdeer.org (AZ Deer Association Website) Congrats on a great deer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rembrant Report post Posted January 4, 2005 I have no doubt that all these guys are excellent. Taxidermy has come a long way in the past few decades. My guy is Clay Goldman of Mogollon Taxidermy in Payson. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azpackhorse Report post Posted January 4, 2005 My vote in the Tucson area is for Wellers, they did an outstandind job on my last coues and like Amanda said, the turn around is impressive. I am glad they decided to join us here at CWT, I was talking to them about the site when I was there in Nov. dropping a cape off for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
