I'v had numerous birds done by Rick Gander and never been disappointed, does a great job. You'll have to tell your friend to expect to pay more for a waterfowl mount compared to a rapture or upland game bird mount because waterfowl have more fat and is more labor intensive (takes more time to get all the fat off the skin).
Not the lower mainland but check out www.solitudetaxidermy.ca
Carolyn does the birds and they are beautiful.
Daniel Hastings at Western Taxidermy in Ladner, you won’t find better! K
Thank all. Most of you were extremely helpful. Not bad really given some threads I’ve read.
Enjoy the fresh air, breath in deep, look around and soak it all up.
