Solitude taxidermy in spruce grove
Anybody here ever used solitude taxidermy for European mounts? If so, please let me know what you thought of their work. (Feel free to private message if you would be more comfortable)

They did my white tail from 2016 and my wife’s and my mule deer from 2017. Reasonable price and very quick.

They do their own tanning so turn around is much quicker.

Looks like fantastic work they do. I'd have no problem taking anything to them.

Dropped off my fox to Darren and Carolyn at solitude taxidermy today. Great folks that are passionate about their work. The birds,bears, deer and other critters from gods green earth that they showed me are second to none as far as I can see. Can't wait to get my fox back and show it here.

They had a great horned owl waiting to be picked up and some kind of a hawk just getting finished. After looking at Carolyn’s owl I wanted to come home and throw mine in the bush. Beautiful work they do.

I don't know why, but that made me lol. I can just picture a guy hucking a full mount bird in complete disgust into the bush in his backyard...and calling it stupid names just for good measure.
But yes, Darren and Carolyn are super people who are really good at what they do.

Wow, I really like that bear rug. How much did that run you to get it made?

As far as I'm concerned the turn around time and workmanship is 2nd to none. The previous taxidermy I've had done by others waa 1-2 years be here I had it back in my house. I dropped my fox off on the Easter weekend and he called me a couple of weeks ago asking if he could keep it for the upcoming trappers rendezvous.
I should add that Carolyn and her birds are fantastic. A guy might have to flip a coin to decide who's prettier.

Did my 2016 muley and my buddies too. Turn around time was 3 months. Wife at first wasn’t keen on putting it anywhere it would be seen. Now it’s front and centre in our bonus room. Darren and Carolyn are avid outdoorsmen and their attention to detail speaks volume. I would definitely not hesitate taking any work to them.

The work that Solitude taxidermy does is second to none and they are very quick. I saw some big deer they did from hunting season last year and they are fantastic.
