Sorry, haven't had a buff done, but I have used both Conroe Taxidermy and B&B (Mike Baird) on Jones Rd and both shops turn out excellent work. I am sure you would be pleased using either one.
Brush Country Studios (Rocky Cooper) without a doubt. A little pricey sometimes but you will see why when you get it back. I have seen some less than desireable mounts come back from Conroe before.
I have known about Brush Country Studios for a long time when they were on Gessner in a little shopping center in a rough part of town.
They do outstanding work, my father is out on medical leave having surgery and went by on Friday to check out the shop and work. Rocky took him around for over an hour showing him the shop, the different staging and finishing rooms, the various mounts, et cetera. He wasn't buying anything, just wanting to kill some time - Dad was blown away by the 18' croc and huge lions he had in his shop.
He made the comment, nothing that he saw would he be embarrassed to put in his home. It was all awesome work. Dad also said, the shop was so clean you could eat of the floor in the show room. If we are lucky to get some big canadian whitetails this fall - we'll be taking them to Rocky for sure. My long time taxidermist has gotten too big and the quality has suffered (not the detail he once provided.)
Another vote for Brush Country. I have 4 heads done by them and all done well. Mine are NA game but I understand they have become specialists in African game.
"Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson.
