Hey Members,

I am currently looking for your recommedations on a great taxidermist in SE Minnesota. If it just so happens that I am lucky enough to harvest a nice buck this fall, I want to be prepared and have a taxidermist already picked out! I would prefer it to be some place within an hour's drive of Rochester. Thanks for any advice!

I am further than an hour from you, but I can definately help you out.

Check them out at www.taxidermy.net

Go to " Taxidermists" then pick "Minnesota". They all have websites so you will be able to look at their work, prices etc.

Go see Craig Christainson in Freeborn, MN. He's about 15 minutes north of Albert lea. He loves doing whitetails and is a master with them. He may not be the fastest guy around, but he is good.

Another guy who is real fast making a name for himself is Randy Tetrick in Lakeville, MN. TK Taxidermy. He's getting the work from most of the big display and exhibit men who show thier collections to 100K+ people a year. Guys like Jim Reimer use him, and displays such as Wild Whitetails have a bunch of his work on public display. That alone should tell you something about his quality. He's really worth the trip. Randy is a real hard worker and a good guy to work with. Tell him Dan Cole says hello. Here's one of mine from Randy.

Thanks for the advice guys!

I shipped my mule deer to Stuff it taxidermy in texas. They did an outstanding job and shipped back to me. I'd heard of them so I looked on the web. Texasstuffittaxidermy.com
They also book some awsome hunts
