catclaw Report post Posted October 2 As a rule, taxidermists are some of the shadiest businessmen around. I've been hosed by more taxiderimists than any other trade, by a large margin. Go with someone who has been in business a while and can show you good work. It's typical for them to take on more work than they can do. I have a mule deer at Mark Miller's right now. He's been around a long time. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in the North Valley, but I don't mind driving, considering getting mounts done is a long term deal. Troy at Authentic is a great guy and does great work - located in Paulden so easy drive out of the valley for you on the North side. Happy to share his work if you would like to see any.

He has done all of our mounts and one more on the way. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have. Ive used Mike for a few years. He does amazing work and is a great guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
