SD Hunt & Taxidermy

[Obsession]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a pheasant taxidermist on the Front Range. I have found plenty online, but if you had a particularly good experience please let me know.

1st SD Hunt:

We had great accommodations, found a ridiculous amount of birds on access lands, and even hunted in what many weathermen called "The Storm of The Century." I found there is one real advantage to hunting in 60 mph flatline winds....you don't need to have bullets! In one day, my pup snagged 3 roosters before they could clear the grass!

All in all, it was a great hunt that I got to share with my dad and knocked the rust off before CO opener.

I was wondering how you did. Sounds like you have something worth mounting.

I've always used Forkhorn Taxidermy, but they've closed their door for the time being. They did great work, and I'm dissapointed they won't be around. I've heard good things about Ty's Taxidermy, but don't have any firsthand experience.

Thanks for the info Chad.

You will have to stop by to checkout this bird. I has curled spurs that are 7/8"!

I would use this gentleman!!!!!!! Would not use Ty's!!!He may not even be the one doing your bird!! I would want one person" the artist " to do my mount in a timely fashion that will last!!!

Agreed, Pete's is the best. I have one of his works of art on my wall from last year's hunt in Dallas, SD. I've heard Bass Pro Shop contracts Pete to outfit stores with wildlife.

If you are looking for a top notch place to hunt, check out P&R Taggart. Great home cooked food, lodging, and excellent hunting.
