Pheasant taxidermy recommendations

[dmdude]

I've seen some posts recommending certain people but does anyone recommend a reputable company? I just want to make sure I get my mount back. I live in Hawaii where I don't have anyone that does taxidermy, at least that I can find. I have a ring neck and a blue pheasant, what are average prices I should expect to pay. Thanks

Wildlife Illusions by Cory Caruthers $425 per pheasant

I've seen them pop up a couple times, he seems like quite the artist.

You pay for what you get! Birds are super tough and take an incredible amount of time to mount correctly.

I'd say stick with one of the nationally recognized taxidermists that deal alot with people shipping birds to them. They will guide you thru how to pack it to ship and will also ensure you get it back in good condition from whichever shipper they use. Birdman Studios is a good one, has a bunch of pheasant photos on his website along with pricing.
