Sonny Amato in central. I was in his shop about two weeks ago to pick up some bobcats, he is the best ive ever seen. Every mount was perfect and he is a really nice guy.

just got my mallard back from him and all of his work is first class but you will pay for it. his ducks and deer look amazing. took about a little under a year but the wait was worth it.

on a side note he never mounted mallard like I request so he used the picture and it was spot on.

Not sure if true or not but I was told that they sold the place and all they do now is make the molds

He charges that to weed out people yet people still bring him work...my guy is doing my other mount for 250$ but he said he's quiting to start doing fish mounts. Luckily I work with him and he will still do all my bird work.

Yeah and I thought Dave was only a little overpriced

ETA: that's a great mount though

Thanks it came out great, want something a little different then just flying or flushing. My other mount is going to be nice when he gets it done. Should have it by march

What is it? I didn't hunt enough to shoot a mounter this year but I'll probably do a woodie on a log or something for a table
