I've had a number of bears done by both Telesky and Ron Pauls out of Niverville, 20 minutes south of Winnipeg. Both do good work. However, I would have to give the edge to Ron P. for the details, ie greater hide dying area when the hair is thin. I also prefer how Ron P finishes off the skull compared with Telesky.

Good day,

Tikka300, I believe you mean Bob Pauls and not Ron Pauls.Oops

.358 I live a few hours from Bob and I can say he does excellent work. Talk to him and if you want some
pictures of some of his work let me know. He mentioned some of my heads from Africa are ready
so I'll be going there soon. While I'm there I can take some pictures and send them to you.

I have trouble getting my mail on the road so I may be a while responding, also I don't have internet
access everywhere I go so I may not see your post right away. Either way let me know.

mike,

you're correct, I did mean Bob Pauls. I do a lot of business with Ron Paul Nursery and get confused sometimes.

However, like all taxidermists don't be in a hurry. I just spoke with them today about my spring '03 bear, its still waiting to be tanned!

If you are hunting around the Riding Mountain or Duck Mountain area you might want to try Darryle Kaye in the town of Riding Mountain along No. 5 highway. He does all my taxidermy and does an excellent job. He ussually has them done in under 8 months. His phone number is 204-967-2695
