3rd year Taxidermist looking to mount your trophies (capital region)

[518BowSlayer]

This will be my 3rd season doing taxidermy and I'd love to mount some critters for any of you in and around the capital region (I live in downtown Troy). I say this every year but I'm still not at the professional level yet so I won't be charging professional level prices. I'll be charging $250 for a deer shoulder mount this year. I've done a few turkeys, coyote, fish, european mounts and my pride and joy... my maine bull moose! I also started mounting deer hides on a piece of wood shaped like the state of NY which I think came out really cool. Did some moose for Maine too. I'd be more than willing to try some other game animals as long as you don't expect perfection for my first one. For the time being I'm only going to be doing reproduction fish, not actual skin mounts. Let me know if you're interested or if you have any questions. And good luck this season!!!

Don’t sell yourself short. It may only be your third year but your whitetail mounts are very good and that turkey you just did is top notch.

If I get something worthy of your skills, you know I'll be giving you a call.

BTW, the state plaques look great on the wall.

I think your deer, and especially Bullwinkle look just fine! I seldom have anything up to a mount, but I will certainly keep you in mind.

Didn't move yet man?  I know when we talked in January you were hoping to get out of Troylet and out in the boonies.  Though with real estate being out of the fricking world expensive probably better to wait.

This man does good work, and has a very quick turn around.  I expect it's about to get longer though as more people realize how good he is.

 

And for the love of god man raise your prices this year!  I'd happily pay double!

This is what he did for me last year:

Your mounts are very well done. Your about 2hrs from me but if I get you may still get a call.

Thanks for the kind words man. Yea, we've been looking at houses all summer but this market is still pretty crazy. Really getting sick of city life but we also don't want to rush into just any house we can afford. It's gotta be right and we just haven't found it yet. Gotta have a decent garage or barn to turn into a taxidermy shop. Plus we're not working with a huge budget and everything we look at is going $20000 to $50000 over asking. Hopefully it will settle down this winter and we find something worthwhile

I've been saying this for the past 3 years now.. if I get something worthy of mounting, I'm sending it your way! The stuff you've posted looks great so far.

Great work. The states are cool. How about an Adirondack Park shape for the north country guys? That would be unique. Hopefully I can connect with one next year.

Troy you say? Is Eldas still there - one of our Thursday Ladies Night haunts from my Siena days many moons ago!
