There are some good ones in north alabama. Not sure the drive from smith lake. But I believe Shane Smith is the one whose work I've seen online. Heck of taxidermist.

Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

Shane's done 12 for me and currently have 11 there with him now and I've never had more than a 14 month wait. Last year he was even offering discounts because he got slow.

Well that's definitely not typical. I'll drop off at the end of one season and generally get birds back during the following season.

Just make sure you see some representative work on any bird or cat mount prior to picking one. Very few taxidermist do even a decent job on either.
