azelkhunter69 Report post Posted April 20, 2019 I was lucky enough to draw a tag this year and would like to get it mounted, if I shoot something worthy. Looking for suggestions in Phoenix or Camp Verde. Would rather not drive all the way to Flag. I would like to visit some of them and check out their work long before the season starts so I will be prepared. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigj23 Report post Posted April 20, 2019 I would use Mike Vaccaro with A Head of the Game taxidermy. I have known him for years and he has completed a javelina, coues, and elk for me, which all turned out great. I currently have a mule deer with him as well. All of the animals have been done in a reasonable time and again, turned out great. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdown Report post Posted April 20, 2019 Verde Valley Taxidermy (in camp verde) does really nice work from their show room although I've never used them, However we shot a couple of antelope in the last few years out of 10 and took a chance of Authentic taxidermy in Chino. We liked him (Troy), and his work enough to make him our only taxidermist now and we live in the east valley. Worth the drive. for us He's done a 2nd goat for us, a couple of pigs, badger and has a bear for us now along with a 2 from our buddies. He's just a great guy, super creative and accommodating and has a great wood guy that compliments his work. Happy to share pictures if you would like. Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOTAGS Report post Posted April 20, 2019 plus one for Mike at A Head of the Game/. He has done 4 deer, a caribou, antelope, desert bighorn, bison and a full mount lion for me. Very good work, reasonable price and good turnaround. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
