Looking for a taxidermist within 100 miles of Lake Charles for a waterfoul mount. Most around here want 2 bills for a duck!

Steve German Taxidermy Art in Westlake has done at least 8 birds for me & they all came out great!

I know Steve personally, and he does great work, but he wants 200.00 for a single duck. Had a kid come hunting with me & he killed his first greenhead. He wanted it mounted, so I said I would get it done for him. Guess it's been too long since I had one done. It was 75.00 back then.

Welcome to the 21st century.

Hole in the Wall in Eunice did a great 8 lb Bass for me for $195.

Call for a price.

Dave Luke in Breaux Bridge. Not cheap, but among the best bird taxidermists in the country.

That's my guy. He's probably getting tired of seeing me being that I've been in there the last 3 weekends.

You've probably seen the ocellated turkey mounts he's doing for me. Can't wait to see them myself...

You've got to remember, too that driving 200 roundrip miles to drop it off and 200 to pick it up is going to cost you around $100.
