Default my opinion, not that anyones opinion REALLY matters ;)

I have not gotten my hawk back yet from F&W but art of taxidermy is who I will be using, I checked out his shop and he does great work. My uncle actually sent his owls 10 hours one way to his place a couple years ago. I did not know that untill i seen the pics and asked about the owner. From what iv seen and heard ben is the best IN alberta. My 2 cents anyways.

I'd give Larry Busse a shout in Brooks.. He is really reasonable and does great work...

Found an older thread that may help too...

I think Ben at Art of Taxidermy is the game winner when it comes to birds, in fact I believe many/numerous other taxidermists either refer you to Ben or subcontract their work to him.

The man apparently is renown for his bird work... like touted "best in Canada"

Ben at Art of Taxidermy is best in Canada by far and arguably has a shot at best in world! Phenomenal taxidermist.

My vote is for Ben also. All I can say is you will not be sorry you took it to him.I got my owls back in the spring and could not be happier with the detail and workmanship that he does.

Ben does great work. Being that this thread is 9 years old lets hope the original poster has found a good taxidermist.

Can't go wrong with Top Notch Taxidermy in Coaldale.

Ben also does great work.
