I am planning another African safari in either 2010 or 2011.

The 2 times I have hunted Africa before I shot a large bag of buff and plains game. In 1999 I used Taxidermy Enterprizes in Zim for Impala, warthog, zebra rug and a bunch of bleached skulls. In 2003 I shot 13 animals in Tanzania and sent them all to Highveld in SA.

Both times I was happy with the quality of work and the price was reasonable. The shipping costs were worth it due to the savings on such large ammounts of work.

I now am going on hunts where I will only be bringing home 2 or 3 animals max.

I am now located more or less permently in Northern New England. I am looking for a stateside taxidermist somewhere in the tristate area or in New England. I would take on someone who is loacted anywhere in the USA who did exceptional work at reasonable prices.

I need a taxidermist who can do African animals.
A guy who has built a career on black bear and whitetail I have no problem finding in Maine.

Thanks for any suggestions...

How about Laros Tax. in Allentown, PA?

How about you not limit yourself to that particular area of the US to find a great African taxidermist?? There are alot out there ( I like to fancy myself in that club) that may be a ways from you, but can crank out some fantastic mounts for you!

Yes Like I said, I would like to find one in the North East so I can go by the shop for a face to face.

However I would not limit myself if I found someone who was GREAT.

There are plenty of Grate Taxidermist on Here
Just look at some of the pictures posted . The saying goes you get what you pay for.
