Taxidermist???
 

I'm looking for a good taxidermist in or near the Lafayette area. I am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for". So anyone have any experiences, good or bad, with taxidermist in or around Lafayette??

Davids Taxidermy does good work, you can go by his place and see for yourself. If you dont mind driving 45min, Buckhorn Taxidermy is the best around.

I saw some work from bayou waters & woods from crowely. He does real good from what I've heard and seen. What you getting mounted?

David Luke - In Breaux Bridge - check out his website.
He is a real artist. Amazing studio.

I had a few deer done buy this guy he does real good work blue ribbon type work over the years he just got out of my price range.

A widgeon I shot yesterday. I posted it in the hunting section. The thread title is Great Morning Hunt

I use Henry Barker in Lafayette. He lives behind Fresh Pickins. Does good work. I think $200 for a duck and he does them FAST. He mounted a pintail for me in a month one time. And they look good.

I highly recommend David's Taxidermy especially for ducks. He has won many awards for his ducks.

How much does he charge for a duck? Never heard of him.

This guy was at the Sportsmans Expo this year and his work was incredible:)

I just called him, he charges $285 for ducks. I think that's who I'm going with. Thanks guys.

Just dropped off my duck at David's today. Checked out his work while I was there and I was very impressed. He is a very nice guy and extremely easy to deal with.

$hit. I remember it costing $70 to $80 for a duck mount.
And I thought that was high...

Sometimes he is kind of swamped under but Johnny Comeax in Rayne does real good work.

X2... I have 5 mounts from barker (3 ducks and 2 fish) and have been happy with all of his work. He did go up on his prices, ducks are now $225, but still cheaper than others and you dont have to wait a year to get your mount back.

That was a fine looking wigeon, gonna look great on the wall...

Thanks. I'll be sure to post pics when I get him back.

Seen it in your report. Awesome bird dude

Killed me a drake widgeon this morning that I'll prolly dead mount with the other one I have in the freezer from last year.

Thanks. I think a dead mount is my next thing to get. Id like to do a drake mallard, pintail, widgeon, blue wing, green wing, and a speck.
