Taxidermist recommendations? (Bearskin rug, N. GA)

[LHF]

I'm planning a fall Cohutta Wilderness hunt and am hoping for a bear. Can anyone recommend a taxidermist that would make a bearskin rug if I get lucky? Ideally, somewhere between Cisco and Atlanta, but quality is more important than convenience. Thanks, y'all!

Trophy Taker Taxidermy in Cornelia. Top shelf, and they will get it done timely.

I hope to have this expense next season too... hope.

My buddy Bob Gaeta lives off aska rd right near blue ridge. He’s a phenomenal taxidermist. If you kill one near cohutta, hes close and very reasonable.

I can say with a bit of experience on this though, everyone wants a rug or half mount but just tanning the hide and having the skull cleaned is usually a way better option. Much cheaper and equally enjoyable.
