Best taxidermy in alberta
Hey guys, so my taxidermist is no longer doing big game so I am wondering what you guys would recommend. I have an Antelope I want to get done so if you have pics of your antelope that you've had mounted and would like to share them that'd be much appreciated.
Ones I am considering are: Artistic, Silver Willow and Alberta Taxidermy so if you have feed back on those that'd be great but I'm open to hear what else is recommended for the best Antelope mount. I have not visited any shops yet but I will be once I hear what is good and what is not. TIA Pics won't upload sorry

Those 3 you chose do great work, I took my goat to Artistic and am very pleased with it.

I haven't seen anything in person, but every mount that silver willow does is stunning, and I will be taking anything I need to them.

I would give Solitude taxidermy a close look. Darren an Caroline Carter are amazing artists!

Worth a look for sure. Just dropped my bear off to them and they have a very nice show room.

Ben is the best!
Ben at Art of Taxidermy in Lethbridge is the best in birds and mammals.
He won the nationals this year.
Just have to wait your turn!

Sry to hijack this thread but what is an spproximate cost for a deer euro? Just the euro, not including plank/board to mount on. I've always done euro's myself but may consider getting a couple done by a taxidermist.

$150-250 is pretty much the range I have seen.

JB Taxidermy by Lyalta
We have mounts 20+ years old that looked like they came out of the field yesterday!

Euro's are not considered taxidermy, IMO..

Interesting that after two pages of bickering, Canada's best hasn't even been mentioned... Ken Walker.
I'm just not sure he would take on a simple shoulder mount these days.

I had my Mulie done by Brian and it is awesome. Couldn't be happier. Saw many Lopes he was working on (one finished beside my mount) and they were all amazing.
