Brian Dobson in Edmonton Alberta-
Not sure how far that is from Calgary but make a trip to his studio-it is worth your time

Artistic taxidermy

He may not be taking in any more new work at this time. Still worth a call to see though!

 

[Scott CWO]

Anyone closer to Calgary?

You could try Bruce Strand, Taxidermy by Penn in Airdrie, very long delivery...or Jim Boland out in Cochrane. They both have done work for me and are excellent, not sure what Jim's deliveries are these days.

I have had great service from Global Artistics Taxidermy.

I’m booking my first African hunt and am looking for taxidermists in Alberta. I live in Edmonton, but am open to suggestions. Do the recommendations from years ago in this forum still stand? Silver Willow and some others. Any other recommendations?

Google search brought it right up

Brian Dobson has done a couple mule deer and antelope for me that were excellent. I'm not sure if he is doing any African taxidermy anymore, but it may be worth a call. Had all my African animals done in Africa, so I can't comment on that. Good luck.

Global Artistic's just north of Calgary has done very nice mounts for me. I sent you a PM.
