I have 2 that I would refer to anyone without regret and without worry that it would blow back on me. Both do an absolutely wonderful job with reasonable prices and high quality work.




1. Woodys in Bladwin. Since Woody passed a few years back Greg has been running the shop and is still turning out a large number of very high quality mounts. Greg was doing the majority of the deer even when Woody was still alive and the quality is still there! They specialize in deer and fish. You cannot go wrong. I miss that bi annual trip north for sure!


Here is a couple of examples of work they did for us and some fish

2. Fortner Taxidermy. Chris does an outstanding job and is has a great following here on the forums and outside the forums. He def cares about his work and follows thru on what he says. He does a little bit of everything. I have never had the opportunity to meet him because I started using him after moving up here but he has done a few mounts for us and has been nothing short of expectations. Prices are great and customer service is even better. Here is a few he has done for us as well.

Smith's Taxidermy in Waycross. He is off of Swamp Road on Howard Lane. (912)-548-3159.
Jody does excellent work, he specializes in deer. He has done a few bears and a cat or two. Does not do birds or fish (other than fan mounts for turkeys). His price for deer is 300 or 275 without plaque. Really fast turn around for European mounts.

Great folks. Take all of our deer processed and mounted there. They are really friendly, professional, and do awesome work.

They have lots of mounts in a room for you to look at and will help you decide what you want done.

I have had shoulder mounts done there and tanned hides.

Don't hesitate to go see them.

I drive my deer from Worth Co all the way to Dawson (hour and half drive roughly) if that tells you anything!



Bob retired after this past season.

McMicken Taxidermy in Cartersville is top notch. His quality is outstanding, very reasonable turnaround time and he has the skill to make just about anything happen in terms of various poses and unique mounts. He has done all my work since 2006.

I can tell you to stay away AT ANY COST from Smith's taxidermy in Alpharetta.

Marty is a great guy and does fantastic work. I have had 3 bucks and a fox mounted by him...very pleased!

Had several deer/ turkeys mounted but Marty. Couldn't ask for a better taxidermist.
 
Another nod to Knight's Wildlife Studio in Dublin.

(I do look happy, don't I?) :yeah:

Rodney Baskin in Carrollton is my go to guy. He's done a coon and a gray fox for me that look like they could get up and walk away at anytime. I worked for him for a few weeks when I got out of high school and observed the great care he took in every mount big and small. He will be getting my business from now on I assure you.
