Blake Wilson in Union Grove, might be a bit of a drive for you, but his work is second to none. All he does is birds. http://www.trophybirds.com/

Rhett Kelly in Titus has mounted 4 turkeys for me in addition to about 7 ducks. He's awesome.

you need to eyeball some birds from ANY taxidermist doing turkeys.....
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Try wildlife creations in childersburg. This guy charges a little less because he does all his own work, freeze dries his own heads, tans his own skins, he also does the same thing for most of the other taxidermists in the area and they have to pay him to do it so you pay them more. He is doing my turkey and said however I want it it will not cost more than 600
Yeah cmon. Daniel White

A turkey is a turkey so anyone local who turns out a nice eastern can handle your ossie. That said, take freds advice and go view their work for yourself. What looks "alive" and good to some could be borderline garbage in reality. I like Shane Smith when it comes to feathers, although he sets a pretty low take in limit on turkeys. http://www.waterfowler.net/Artistic/

Rack and Spur. pike county. Paul Smith has a ton of Blue Ribbons to back up the quality of his work... Think his turkeys are $550.... 334-282-3402. Rack and Spur WMD took his son's triple breaded stud he killed on Rucker last week....
