I would appreciate recommendations for excellent taxidermists in the Phoenix, Arizona area. I'll be hunting sheep in Mexico in February and from a logistics standpoint, it would be best to leave the the cape and horns in Phoenix.

I highly reccomend Signature Taxidermy in Flagstaff. It's worth the 2 hour ride!!! They do museum quality work and ship taxidermy worldwide. Their prices are also reasonable. They shipped anelk rack back to the east coast for me this year and in the past have mounted a bull elk for me. The mounts in their showroom are amazing.

Funny, like bowhunter can't help in PHX but 1 1/2 hours South you can't do better than Bud at:

Check out his galleries.

Marc Plunkett, Wildlife Creations. He's at 51st Ave. & Thunderbird. Bud Weller is also good, but of course not in Phoenix.



Here's a bear Marc just finished for me. I did the roll-around wooden base; Marc did the rest. He's also doing all my stuff from Africa and New Zealand. The Coues deer at the upper right is also his work. -TONY
