Dave booth taxidermy - opinions?
Looking to hear from people with actual experience with Jim Booth taxidermy.
We’re you happy with the results?
Happy with timeline?
Are they reliable?
Thanks

Got a mule deer done by Brody.
Got it back under a year, roughly 8-9 months.
Mount looks great.
I would bring more animals to him in the future.
Very reliable, you won’t be disappointed

I don’t know about dave booth but I wouldn’t hesitate checking out Darren and Carolyn at solitude taxidermy. Anything I’ve had done there and everything I’ve seen from them has been second to none.

Taxidermy is an art form as much as a science, everyone has there own ideas what works and you've got to pick accordingly. I kinda like the Artistic stuff, featured here.

If you are serious about quality, all of Brian Dobson's work that I have seen has been art, and I have seen a lot.

There are 100 that can do deer, 20 that can do sheep, 5 that can do birds. There's no hiding anything these days. Facebook is your friend.

Alex Muirhead was fantastic on birds, did a good job on deer, ...
But there was history on Alex to make a youtube channel.
Birds are tough because you are taking plumage attached to a skin that now has to look supple and natural again, after drying and shrinkage.
For some reason this is a business which sees quality control all over the place.

Brody did my Mule Deer back in 2015 and did a great job. He is also great to deal with.

Quality in the taxidermy world varies wildly and price isnt the best indicator of a good shop.
Referals are everything. Dont ignore the bad stories because the price is attractive.
Brian dobson is a good guy and runs a tight ship. He will get anything I ever do again as long as hes in business.

I’m interested to hear what your problems were with sugar creek?
Everything I’ve taken there has come back top notch
I have a caribou and grizzly with Marco and I have no doubt they will be first class when they are done
