Hi all,
I took a nice black bear over the weekend that I would like to have the hide tanned. Can anyone recommend a good taxidermist within a reasonable distance from Golden, BC?

not sure what you consider reasonable distance but the new one in merritt gets pretty good reviews from what I heard as far as tanning goes.Quote:

I second going to Merritt, Ray Wiens has done a few animals I have taken. Always great work done by him, he has an apprentice now too that has good work.
I believe ray has separated the taxidermy and the tanning, I believe you can still send your animals to him, but he just passes them off to the outfit in lower Nicola if I’m correct.Quote:

I have an Elk done by Ray when he was in Aldergrove, did a fantastic job. There were many animals in his shop when I picked it up and they were all very well done. Tar, goats, sheep and a couple bears, wouldn’t hesitate going back to him
I’ll throw another recommendation for Ray. I was very happy with the bear hide I had him tan and his customer service was A+
Lino Grifone in Castlegar is excellent.

Phillip at Apex wildlife Art in Cranbrook does amazing work.
He is a true artist, reliable and a great person.
He did a mule deer for me that is stunning, his attention to detail is the best.
Highly reccomend.
