Taxidermy suggestions


Recommended Posts

I hope I am not jinxing myself, but I have the opportunity to go sea duck hunting in MA in a couple of weeks. The guys I am going with have had good success on eiders, old squaw, brandt, and various scooters. If the opportunity presents itself I would think about putting a eider or old squaw on the wall. Any taxidermy suggestions? I know flyway in St Cloud is a good one. Any other suggestions out there?

Tom's taxidermy north of Albert Lea in Clarks Grove is a good one. His shop is right off of I35, check it out if you are ever down that way. Flyway is probably the best in the state but also the most expensive. You might also want to consider finding someone out in MA who is familiar with those kind of ducks.

Bubba's taxidermy in Doland SD is really good and its very reasonable. He is a multi state winner in master and professional class and has experience with sea ducks. i was out there last weekend and brought him a Canvasback. And he specializes in birds.

All that I know is you can go into Mid America Taxidermy and see all of his different work in his huge showroom. Brad is the owner and is an avid hunter that knows what real birds look like in the wild and translates that to your stuffed bird. His shop is located in Savage MN. He also dose everything from African to Russian mounts. Stop into his shop the show room will make your trophy deer look like a peanut.

    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
