    First wood duck. Taxidermist????

    Who knows the best place around Lewisville to get a duck mounted that does good work for cheap?? Just got him this morning. I'd post pics but I'm technology challenged

          Basically what I found was a shop that will do it for 250. I've never mounted anything through an actual shop before so I don't know how much to expect or if that's a decent price.

              I use www.gr8mounts.com in Marion. Josh and Becky are the most trustworthy taxidermists I've found. Work is impeccable.

                That's the thing. I haven't seen the work of pretty much any shops around here. so I figured I'd ask for shop recommendations

                  That's a little too far from me

                    Man, That is just a terrible waste on a once in a lifetime hybrid duck. Like the GS said, good taxi work is not cheap. Check their birds at the shop and references before taking yours. I have 9 ducks mounted and like all of them except for my Canvasback that got his neck wrung and can tell on the mount. At least I can. $250 is a fair price and close to the going rate right now.

                              Taking a duck of mine to avian arts this Thursday. He does good work, give him a look.
