I killed my biggest buck to date yesterday and am now looking for a good taxidermist. I saw one at the Sportsman's show last year at the Show Place but can't remember the name. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

While not exactly close,(Danville Va. about 150 miles from Richmond) we have a excellent guy .His place is called "Bigun's" He does beautyiful work .He is kinda pricey but his work (I think) is worth it.He does a lot of taxi competitions.

I have pics but don't know how to post them. I tried an upload but it said the file was to large.

I took my deer to Mast Meats in Amilia. They had an advert on the bulliton board there of someone they recommend. I have no first hand knowledge but as pleased as I am with the way they processed my deer I figure their recommendation is workth more than the yellow pages.

He has done my deer and a few of my buddies. I would have to email you pics because I do not know how to post on this site. Hayes is in Gloucster just over the Coleman bridge.
