Who does a jam up job on ducks? I have a good taxidermist I have been using for years, but I donot think his ducks look that great. I got a beautiful Drake Pintail this past weekend in Tennessee. Please tell me some taxidermist that do not a good, but awesome job.

Thanks.....

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. You guys have some very fine looking mounts. The taxidermist I use does a great job on deer and turkey, but I am a little dissappointed with his ducks. I think you guys gave me a couple extremly good taxidermist to research. I will post pictures on here when I get my Sprig and Green head back.

Thanks
