I have already back-read the posts, bobber, in fact I have actually called some of them , I was merely asking for more timely advice, not becoming a target for people to get their post count up without really saying anything. _________________ Lord, help me be the person my dog thinks I am. |

| All Creatures is good but NOT cheap. Cheap and good rarely go together in my book. Good Luck! |

All creatures great and small has my vote. In the service industries cheap, good and fast tend to be mutually exclusive qualities. _________________ Live like you're dying |

Thanks guys, I'll check out All Creatures Great and Small. My deer deserves the best, and not some bubba's garage. I'll keep y'all posted. Somebody IMed me and advised that I could mount it myself if I got it drunk and told it I love you first, but I don't know if I'm up for that. _________________ Lord, help me be the person my dog thinks I am. |

Shur's off Rodd field gets all my stuff and i have a lot of mounts. Troy is a stand up guy and does great work 361-688-1399
Just don't use the one in Refugio, TX had 4 of my mounts and deposit for over 2 years n never did any thing and still has my money. I took them to Shur's ( FIRST TIME I DELTA WITH TROY ) and he had them done in 3-4 months plus 2 others and a rug. that's six mounts and a rug finished in less than half a year.
Not bad if u ask me. He has my aoudad now and when i get back from Alaska he'll be get my two caribou and wolf hopefully.

| You might try TX Wildlife & Taxidermy, a new place in the Bluff. Charles Morrison is one of the owners. He seems like a nice guy, and has been in the business a long time. 429-5804 |

Thanks for all your help guys, but I was getting quotes of $600.00 and up so I enrolled in the Flour Bluff Internet Correspondence Shcool for Fishing Guide/Captains, Taxidermy, and General Dentistry. After lesson one I was ready to try my hand and here are the results. Not the best , but the best I can do at this time with a grand total investment of $120.00, not counting the correspondence school tuition.(I gave them a post-dated check just in case).[/img] _________________ Lord, help me be the person my dog thinks I am. |
