Norm didn't do the grizz at the airport but yes he does great work. I really appreciate his rugs. great guy also. Always has lots of mounts there to check out. I would not hesitate to bring any animal into him to get mounted.

Even though a person does good work with other animals...PLEASE>>make sure he does good cats. Take a look at their cats..make no assumptions.
Cats are a whole new game.
Congrats on the lynx!:)

Great advise SSS, ask to see pictures and references of other cats. It is a lot different that shoulder mounts.

Roger Britton Jr. (Majestic Mounts, Telkwa, BC) did the grizzly at the Smithers airport.
We call the bear "Houston" (it's a long story).
Roger is very good and has won international awards for his work. He's not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Well, I spoke to Norm on the phone yesterday afternoon, seemed like a good honest guy, I'd just like to see some of his work. Particularly his cats. I tried to get a hold of Majestic Mounts and Northcoast but couldn't get through to anyone. To be honest, I checked the northcoast website, and was impressed by his work, however the one Lynx he has on there didn't impress me too much, so I'm a little hesitant about that one. If anyone has pictures of any of Norms work can you please post them? Thanks. and Thanks for the advice so far!

Hey Guys, I am great friends with Norms son....Hes a great guy, and has done some amazing work!!! I have been through his shop 4 or 5 times, and let me tell you, he does a first rate job on every animal he does! If you go to his shop, arranged with him of course, he will have somewhere between 20-40 different mounts! Hes always got a lot of his work in the shop. He will do my first mount without question!!!!
