Shoot2Kill Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm looking for a quality waterfowl taxidermist in the St Cloud area - any recommendations? I'm not really concerned with the price...just want the duck done right. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattlem'up Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 flyaway taxidermy does an awsome job reasonable prices also.heres a mallard that i had done from therehttp://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=177969397/PictureID=4026214164/a=103591650_103591650/t_=103591650http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=177969397/PictureID=4026217609/a=103591650_103591650/t_=103591650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoot2Kill Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Nice mount...I like that. If you don't mind, what did that run you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattlem'up Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 250 and it was done within 2 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tippman Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 That seems like a good price. He's $75 more than that now with a 8-12 month turn around. $425 if you want it in 1-2 months. Look at the HSOforum. Just don't go to Scott's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaJman Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Animal Arts Taxidermy in Golden Valley does really nice ducks too..not exactly St Cloud area but an option. I think he charges around $250 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTFISH69 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Flyway is awesome he did a sweet redhead for me last year for $350 and it was done in under a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander019 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Jerry Froerlic at Flyway Taxidermy is one of the best in the area. Be willing to pay a little more to get a piece back that you will be proud to display and will last a lifetime. Thats who I learned the trade from. He is a great guy to boot.

Shoot2Kill Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I just checked out his HSOforum...I think I've found my man...I can't believe some of those mounts. They look beautiful. Thanks for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippman Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 He's someone I found in the paper right in St. Cloud when I was younger and going to school without much money lying around. My 4 curled mallard was only around a hundred bucks but I told him I wanted it flying and when it finally came back much later than he promised it was sitting. Of course he couldn't find the receipt to prove how I wanted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippman Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Oh trust me I learned my lesson. Like I said I was young and didn't have the money. Jerry at flyway will be mounting the white mallard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skies Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I would also say jerry at flyway does an excellent job. He did a redhead for me last year and it turned out pretty sweet. my buddy also has 5 mounts that he did and all turned out good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn57 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 tippman, the reason i asked i just took 6 perch from winnie we got last march to a taxedermist named scott. he has done a chucker and a pheasant for me in the past and im happy with them and im real fussy when it comes to good taxi work. hope this isnt the same scott, if it is hes not bad now.
