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

Had a couple mounts done by them excellent turn around fair prices and mediocre quality

You want a mediocre mount.. What ever

You want a trophy.. Sugar creek

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.

I am not looking for museum quality, but Daves Grandson did a bugling elk for me and its incredible. I would pm u a pic if reach out via pm.
Ive had about 6 mounts done by Dave and all met my expectations, and price is good!

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.

Maybe things changed?

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.

Nothing wrong with brody’s work , did a sheep for me and now has my whitetail from this past fall , turn around on sheep was 9 months , and should have my whitey back mid may.

double gun 04-14-2019 08:41 PM

Thanks guys.

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.

Norwest Alta 04-15-2019 08:11 PM

What are you taking in?

Drewski Canuck 04-15-2019 09:13 PM

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.

Jamie Black R/T 04-16-2019 04:10 PM

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
