    Thumbs up Good Taxidermist

    Hey, Harmon:
    There is guy named Bobby Humphrey who does some of the work I ever seen. You can tell that by his displays. His address is 447 North Woodale Rd, Strawplains. Which is about 10 minutes from Knoxville. His phone number 865-933-2579. It has been a while since he has done any work for me, but he does very good work like taking fish/wildlife and adding things to make it look they are in a living scene. Give him a try. Don't think you will be disappointed.
    Sincerely,
    Jeff Spangler

    We stopped mounting fish for a few years till the contract runs out we sold out the fish and fur animals from our shop.All we do anymore is certain customers that we named on our contract and all we do other than that is Feathered animals..Thanks for mentioning it Ribit.We been working on a webpage so then we can buy advertising banners on the forums to promote us.I talked to the guy that bought us out he charges 175 a fish might get a discount if more than one fish.Quick turnaround time he send the fish to Archie Phillips in Bham Ala and then paints them and puts them on driftwood.
