I am searching for a good taxidermist to mount a couple Grizzlys my 2 sons killed this spring. Can anyone refer me to some reputable taxidermists? I am in the Kootenays so basically anywhere in the province other than the far north. Thanks

if your in Cranbrook checking out Dan's shop.......make sure you stop by Apex Wildlife Art (Phil) and you will have all your bases covered.
truth be told there are quite a few in Cranbrook that will provide top knotch mounts....Ive been in all the shops.
......Phil is the best though ;) lol!

Charlie Farn in Creston has done good work for me and much cheaper than anyone in Cranbrook.

Aasland's Museum Taxidermy 3700 Collinson Rd, Cranbrook. One of the better ones in Cranbrook. Descent prices and does pretty good work. Found the turnaround time to be a little long but what can you expect from a mom and pop shop.

Hey Bruce. I am getting my ram done with Philip (apex) in Cranbrook. He's unreal.
I have to put another vote for Ray Wiens. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ray-Wiens-Taxidermy/163722116991030?sk=photos_stream I can't say anything about bear mounts but he did a great job on my whitetail mount which is on his facebook page and here http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/showthread.php?84937-got-my-whitetail-mount . Very professional to deal with.
I know your a ways away but Terry at Lagoon taxidermy in Vic is good, he is just finishing a big Russian brown for Jim Shockey that looks great. PM me if you want his #
