Billings MT Taxidermist?

[mtlion]

Who's good and reasonably priced? Need a mule deer shoulder mount.

Any pics of mounts from recommended taxis would be appreciated!

Show picture of said deer, please.

I'll let my hunting partner post them, he has the better pics. I'm betting he's still driving home, he had a much longer drive.

No, please don't.

Gayest thread in the history of hunttalk.

It wasn't that gay until you posted

All kidding aside. Randy11 is now dubbed Saint Randy and I'll fight anybody who badmouths him. To the death.

You think that spindly little forkie is worth a shoulder mount?

You know I've already got a trusted taxidermist in the bitterroot, pretty sure he should've came home with me.

Take a look at Pete's work at Yellowstone Valley Taxidermy. Headed east on 312, he's on the north side of the highway just before you drop down the hill to the Huntley bridge.

Not so good cell phone pics and wrong species, but an example nonetheless:

Don't make me post a $hitty cell pic...It's either Belgrade or Broadus for me. Sorry.

My good friend Ryan was willing to sacrifice his opening weekend to come glass/pack for my hard to draw elk tag. I figured the generous thing to do would be letting him shoot the mule deer buck I spotted. When we walked up to him I realized just how generous I was...

Stoked for you buddy... I think.

Love the "love" of both faces on the last pic. Woooweee big buck there guys.

As I said before, Saint Randy.

Jacob from Adventure Taxidermy does really nice work and reasonably priced. Mitch Howe is really good but longer wait and little more costly. Don't go near Anglers and Antlers.

 

[Stubaby]

Judas!!! Stud of a buck.

 

[Bambistew]

I think I'd wait for a bigger one to mount.

 

[fishing4sanity]

WOW! You certainly do need a taxidermist, great buck.

 

[mtlion]

Thanks for the info guys, I'll be checking those out this morning. I know there are guys on here that have killed bigger bucks, but this is my lifetime achievement award right here and I'm very proud and happy to have taken him, especially given the circumstances. Hunting with two good friends and being gifted a good buck from one of them, doesn't get better in the memory making department.

I'm not a score guy and I don't know how well you can trust my measurements but I get a gross score of 180 1/8 so I'm guessing it will net 170's, for those who are curious.

Purcell taxidermy up near Red Lodge. Did my moose 25 years ago and my sheep a few years ago.
