A1Furtraders taxidermy reviews

[cole97]

Got couple bear hides tanned already and I was thinking of taking it to them , looked at there gallery and they looked pretty good .... prices are good and not breaking the bank . has anyone had bad reviews from them, if so what are others taxidermist that are good and wont break the bank?

Are you just getting it tanned or mounted?

One friend just had two blackies done and another had a grizz done. For a basic rug and for the price it's tough to beat. Peter buys and sells lots of rugs so I'm not sure those photos are actually ones he's done up. I've dealt with him on numerous occasions and it's been very positive.

Im getting one life size and rug , there prices are low , but I havent had them done anything for me yet so im looking for some good reviews

[john.b]

His price list appears to be for already finished mounts. Would the prices be the same for having one made for you? If so I may be interested in having my next bear done by him.

Did my buddies 6' grizz (closed mouth) rug last year for $650. I believe the blackies may have been slightly less.

The prices would be the same unless hes skinning salting or tanning it for you will be charged extra plus tax too but his prices are low for a really good taxidermist it will cost me $875 for my life size mount and $500-600 for the rug , plus tax. Thats pretty good for two blackies unlike other places

If hes good why so cheap , sucks getting burnt (wont make that choice again)Have two deer done that look like their hadicap

I have bin comparing photos from both wildlife and a1furtraders and theres not that much of a difference

This was my bear and it looks good to me, I would certainly have Peter do a bear for me again. If I get a chance I could take a few pics for you if you want them.

[leadpillproductions]

That would be awesome post them up

Since I haven't gotten out bear hunting and you killed that nice bear last Saturday I'm having a tough time saying your name . . . I'm working through it! ;)
It seems like grizz rugs run ~$200/ft so getting it for half that is pretty good. The other $600 can go towards another rifle!

Sounds pretty cheap! I thought that A1 only bought and sold taxidermy ??? I never knew he actually did the work himself ???

[cole97]

Oh does he do taxidermy then , I though he did , on the website it has prices for the mounts and rug he does...idk then does he do taxidermy work or just buy and sells work

[BCbillies]

He's full service . . . just give him a call!

[cole97]

Oh ok thanks cant wait , I know this is a stupid question but can I order my own shoulder mount for my bear and have him do it then

[davet]

why is his web site not working?

never mind. it does not open for me on safari but it does on explorer
