Do you Kansas City members have a recommendation for a quality local taxidermist? If so please list the company name, contact information and post pictures of their work.

Thanks,
Tom

Hey Tom. Why do you need a taxidermist? Are you holding out on us?

[BMOELLER]

Yeah inquiring minds want to know.  I believe Greg ? at platte falls is a taxidermist.  Forgot his last name.  Haven't seen any of his work though.

Hey Tom, the guy I use is Scott Pitts of Sure Shot Taxidermy in Bonner Springs KS. He's a Captain on my Fire Dept. and a good guy. I'll try to post some pics of his work if I can get my wife to show me how. His number is (913)231-4762.

[Gatekeeper]

Ha ha… no I’m not holding out I only want to have a game plan for the day that I need one.

[Gatekeeper]

Great thank you Tripper

How is your hunting season working out?

[twosheds]

I dropped the string on a nice little ten point in Oklahoma. He's about 125'' probably. I need to post his pics on here but I'm not very good with the computer. I'm goint tonight if the wind will let up a little.

[BMN]

Well, it appears that Tom isn't the one holding out on us, its Tripper. Come on Tripper, spill it.

Hey tom, Buck Hollow Taxidermy in Harrisonville is the best around. His name is Steve Gowen. He does all the taxidermy for MDC in the region. He has a very nice display studio, and welcomes people to stop by and take a look at his work. To say that he is a taxidermist is an understatment, he's a true artist. His number is (816)380-2491.

Tom, I'll try and hook up with You the end of the week with the re-bar We talked about. I'll bring a card of a up and coming Taxidermist for You.

Travis is a paraplegic Friend of My sons who graduated from taxidermy school last year and is trying to get his own business started.

Craig Jones in Independence MO does good work.  About $300 and a year wait.  I'm using a friend now that charges about $200 and is much quicker.

A lot of options here thanks everyone.

My in-laws take theirs to a guy named Morley in Butler.  He does real good work.  Not sure about the price.  I could get the contact info if you want it.  

I haven't had a chance to use him yet, but I might if that 10 point comes through on the same trail again. . .
