i know there is a forum member peter p on here that does taxi work. He did a turkey for another member a few years back. Perhaps he has some pics of it! I can speak for his deer work, but not the turkey

I used Rick Poulin out of Ottawa for a few deer mounts. I was able to check out quite a few jobs on the go and was very impressed. He has a lady that does his bird work and she does good stuff. He had a real cool grouse mount that I would love to do one day...some nice duck and geese...I am pretty sure he is a member on this forum also.

This is my double bearded bird I got mounted a few years ago. Vogel Taxidermy mounted it out of Madoc. I wanted to show the two beards so I had it on a log gobbling with his neck straight out.

I really like that gobbling mount!
Dutch, not sure where you are exactly, but there is a great taxi in the villiage of Clyde near Cambridge. Dave Broadhagen...he's one several awards. He's on the net. He does all our deer.

Jeff Brain of Brain's Tax. in Orillia is very good
World class deer mounts fish and birds

Did my buddy's full turkey mount a few years back, I think it was about $800.00 then.
