Large bird taxidermist recommendation
Looking for recommendations on a taxidermist for a large bird. Get what you pay for situation, bird is worth it.
Located in central alberta. Thinking of taking it to Lethbridge.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Just go to Lethbridge...I have had several birds done by Ben, and I can tell you that you won't be disappointed. Raptors are hard to get/find, they are not your regular pheasant or duck. Do it once right.
Ben is not cheap, but if you see what he does and the amount of time he spends on each bird you'd know why.
I haven't seen anyone do it with the same techniques as Ben's.

Another recommendation for Ben at Art of Taxidermy. I've had a Great Horned Owl done by him, and he posts some of his work on the forum - it is truly amazing.

I too would suggest Ben do it. I am patiently waiting for my Great Horned Owl that he said would be done before Christmas! His work is fantastic.
