Happy New Year
Looking for recommendations for a life-size mountain goat of who to send my hide and skull to.
Paul Penny and Dewey would not take it. Monarch, Deer Creek, and Zimmerman are all around $8-9K. Zimmerman has decent turnaround time, the other 2 are long waits.
Wildlife Revolutions and Wildlife Gallery are closer to $6K, but long turnarounds as well.
Doesn't have to be a big shop, but just giving some data points Ive already collected.
Ive found a couple of shops near me (east coast) that would do it for $4,500-$5K, but they have done very few/dont have any recent pics to show, and I dont want my goat to be part of their training program.
If you have a recommendation, please either post here or send me a PM if preferred. Pics of your life-size welcomed
Below is the general pose and caliber of work I am wanting done. I've seen some goat mounts, likely older, that looked like they were soaked with a hose, coats generally looked haphazard and sloppy/unfinished, no attention to detail or lack of experience/knowledge of what to do by the taxi, and/or the rock base looked like a 3rd grader made it, so looking to avoid those.
I think ideally it would be someone out West (who knows what goats are supposed to look like and does them regularly) who is a 1 man show who maybe doesnt have an online presence or go to shows, but quietly puts out great work. Maybe a 1 man show with a helper. I just dont know who these people are/not sure how to find them. Feel free to PM if you don't want it out on the www, I wouldnt want to share either.
Thanks in advance
