I just dropped off 2 deer at Parker Wildlife Studio in Cullman after a few recommendations. I had personally seen 4 mounts he did before and there’s other pictures in the shop. Nice guy but he does a lot of mounts so if you’re looking for a quick turnaround he’s not your guy

JW Harvey in Athens was awesome, but he retired I believe. Stan Gross does great work

Daniel Williams at Cedar Ridge Whitetails Taxidermy is the best around the Cullman area. He’s done 4 mounts for me and dozens of others for family/friends over the last few years

I didn't know he trained under Rocky. This would be a case where the student is better than the teacher.

I dropped a whitetail off to him in December. Decided to go with Bill Young after a little research. I was impressed with his home-based shop and the work he had sitting around on-site.

I am brand new to the Huntsville area, so finding a regular taxidermy was at the top of the list. I will definitely post the completed mount when I receive it back. His turnaround is about a year, just like most good shops.
