I know one in NW MO. LOL You are wise to shop around. When you are spending that much money on something it deserves a little research. I would suggest Devin Amelunke of Fredericktown MO. Very accomplished taxidermist in SE MO. A list of all of the Missouri Taxidermist Association members can be found here, and some listings include links to their websites.
