Taxidermist in NW Miss

Postby crowder critter » Thu Jan 10, 2008 9:46 pm

Who does everyone use? Someone the other day recommended Billy Warren in Water Valley. Anyone had any deer mounted by him? If so, did he do a good job?

I take all my stuff to jim nelson in cleveland, and always thought he did a good job. Several friends have deer at cole davis's place, hes supposed to be good also.

i have used cole davis, jim nelson, and Ken hawes (now in saltillo, but travels to Clarksdale several times a week.

Cole does great work but is high and takes well over a year to get the mount back

I have had nelson do 4 for me and my wife. i was happy with 2 and not so happy with two.

Ken hawes will get the rest of my work. His work is a good as cole and he is cheaper and faster.

Probably tans them himself?

I don't think you can do it without tanning the hide. Otherwise, it would rot.

Warren does a ok job, some better than others. I would use Ben Merrs in Mantachie or Calvin Patton in Como

Ted Addison in Southaven does real good work. He takes a while because he is usually covered up during hunting season. Banded Duck Taxidermt.
