[Bartbux]

Looking for high quality Africa work - price and timing are less important than great work. Who do you like and why?

Looking especially for someone with experience with eland.

How long you have been waiting? And do you know the time frame for completion such work?

Taxidermy Unlimited in Burnsville (on Cliff Road) has a great reputation and you can stop by and see a lot of their work on African game in their showroom. I brought an Elk there last October and it is expected to be ready by this December.

Taxidermy Unlimited (Now "Gaston's Wildlife Art") In Burnsville MN. Great work and really excellent communication. Over the years for me they have done three bear skin rugs, a Muskie replica, and about a dozen whitetail deer antler mounts. Currently they have my Cape Buffalo, Baboon, Honey Badger, and Zebra taken last August in South Africa. Their shop is an interesting place to visit with an ever changing variety of taxidermists art on display in the front office. They are always willing to give you a tour of the operation to see what goes into the taxidermy process.

I had Mike Kahlert at Great Bear take my crate shipment and do all mine and my dad's animals. I was satisfied with his work, I was more than satisfied with his promptness to get them done for us. Just a few of the 10 he did for us (Sable, Eland, Giraffe, Impala, Springbok, Wildebeest, Nyala, Bush Buck, Red Hartebeest, Waterbuck).
