duggaboybufftaxidermy in victoria
can some of you guys recomend some taxidemists in Victoria?melbourne area?
Having moved down here recently, I am (hopefully) going to need one for (fingers crossed) Sambar and a small chance for Hoggies.
I have spoken to Rob Gray of Grays taxidermy and he will not take any more work on at the moment for at least 12 months due to a back log of work. I have heard of a few but dont have any contact details. Ian Humphries is one that comes to mind. Thanks for any help.

The pictures on her website don't do full justice to her talents.
Let me know how it goes.

I have used South Pacific Taxidermy / Gary Pegg a lot. For all my African stuff - cape buffalo, eland, kudu, other plains game. Plus a hog deer stag as well. At the moment he has my water buffalo from 2004 underway which is hopefully near completion.
Mario's Taxidermy is another to consider. Next time I am in Melbourne I hope to visit his studio and see what his work is like. I have seen several dozen heads at Watervalley that he did and they all looked very fine.
PM or telephone me if you like.
if you want QUALITY WORK i would only use Ian Humphries or Rob Gray , Gary Pegs work is not up to scratch at time, and often substandard
