Do any of you Canadian members know of anyone near Calgary?
 
What species?
 
Lion, elephant, polar bear, etc...
 
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

Thanks! Name of his business?
 
Artistic taxidermy
 
He may not be taking in any more new work at this time. Still worth a call to see though!
 
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.
 
Bump…

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.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
