What I need is a estimate price for a medium sized animal.
Where to take it.
and of course a balance between quality, service and workmanship.
Any reviews or referal would be greatly appreciated.

I dropped mine off in December at Alberta Taxidermy in New Serepta. The price and turn around i was quoted were far better than the other options in Edmonton area. It is supposed to be back this summer.

Good luck

The guy by Longview took about 8 months to have it tanned.

Fantastic, that is affordable and a great way to preserve a memory. Please when you find the number or name pm me

So after 4 days of sledding and lots of driving , we called it a trip and drove home so daughter could get back to school . 150 Km's on the skidoo , too many on the truck , lots of week old tracks , but looks like the warm weather chased them into the timber for some shade . Saw wolves , moose,foxes , lots of owls and grouse ! Great bonding time with the daughter . Met a bunch of great guys , everyone was super friendly and helpful . Everyone shared info but the bison didn't leave the thick stuff

Got my hide back already!! Just wanted to share a picture of it. Cost a few buck but worth every penny. That’s a king size bed for reference.

Only problem is I don’t have a wall big enough for it.

Wow thats a beauty

oldgutpile · #73 05-11-2018, 10:35 AM

I had my robe tanned the first season. Got it home and spread it out on the bed. Looks great.
Then........ I tried to sleep in it

I think I last 15 or 20 minutes! Too heavy, too hot, and I just couldnt bear it!
Now if I want to use it, i just roll it out on the floor and roll up in it, with lots of open-side available. super comfy, and I sleep great in it that way, but as a bedspread, I'll pass

HAHA Even with the central AC on max i don't think i would try to sleep with it on the bed. Not to mention i don't have to worry about that as my wife didn't leave her thoughts on having it on the bed up for interpretation.

Alberta Taxidermy not only turned it around real quick but did a great job and at a significantly lower cost than the other places around town. They will see more business from me in the future.
