Default Anyone know a good W PA Taxidermist?

Just wondering if anyone here knows of a good taxidermist in Western PA? Going on a hunt in a few weeks and want to make sure I have someone lined up. I called the guy I usually do and he said he's got 2 years of backlog so he's not accepting any more right now.

HELP!!!

Jacks is actually in Youngwood and I've had a couple of deer done there as well. His work is excellent but he has become pricey.

I've got a guy here in somerset county who is nationally known and has won many awards. He's quick with his work and his prices are very reasonable. I believe last year when i took my wild boar to him his price was 325 for a deer mount. The price may be different now though seeing as that was last summer.325 is a very reasonable price. Heres his website it has his contact information on it if you'd want go give him a call. www.mountaintoptaxidermy.com

I take mine to zellmans in indiana co. Closer to pittsburgh though there's a guy down south of the city around elizabeth. My girlfriends nephew had his done by him and it is one of the nicest mounts I've ever seen. I'd have to call him to get the guys name.

Be careful picking taxidermist based on "awards". Sometimes they receive awards for having the only animal in a certain class. I've seen some terrible, terrible work with "awards" pinned to them. I'm not saying this is the case with some mentioned above, I just want people to realized that "awards" don't make a taxidermist good....

I will second both Hutchs and Jacks. I had a buck mounted by Jack, great work. If you want a pic of it let me know and I will email it to you. Hutchs mounted a bass for my son, great work and beautiful detail.

PMpiebalddoe. Her website is outdoor-dreams.com.Her work looks great on the net, but I've never seen it in person. She is working on getting her liscense. Kenny Boyer does a great job too. He lives in Burgettstown. But like most others he gets backed up also.
