What
Our
Customer's Say...
|
|
Over
the years, Ive had a number of both good and bad taxidermy
experiences and am very particular about quality and selecting a
taxidermist. In December 2005 I was able to harvest two mature coyotes
that were chasing white tail fawns on a property I hunt in Northern
Virginia. Since I already had a really well done coyote mount, I
struggled with whether or not to mount either of the harvests.
After
researching area taxidermists, seeing Danes work and talking
with him, I decided to mount the larger of the two and have the
hyde of the second tanned for my oldest daughter. The work that
Dane did on both animals was outstanding. Dane called me at several
points in the process to confirm decisions and share his thoughts
on how to best present the mounted animal. His attention to the
smallest detail and desire to please his customers are obvious and
result in an outstanding final product and a great overall experience.
In addition, Dane beat his estimated time frame for delivery by
3 months. My entire family is very happy with the mounted coyote
which is prominently displayed in our home. My daughter is particularly
proud of her coyote hyde and keeps it in a place of honor in her
room. Dane, thanks very much and God willing, we will certainly
return in the future.

The best!
Thats what I think every time I pass one of Moutnin' Man Taxidermy's
pieces of work. Five years ago was the first time that I met Dane.
I had harvested a nice 8 pt. And wanted to get it mounted but had
no freezer space. Dane was kind enough to allow me to bring in my
deer to him after hours so that I wouldnt lose it. 6 months
later it was hanging on my wall, and it was by far the best taxidermy
work that I have ever came across, I was also surprised at the quick
turn around time.
Since then I have taken several more trophies to Dane, including
a life size piebald buck. All of the trophies that Dane has done
for me still look the same as they did as the day I brought them
home. I have also taken older mounts of mine, from a previous
taxidermist that was falling apart. Dane was able to repair
these mounts and make them as if they were alive again.
I highly recommend Mountin' Man Taxidermy to anyone that has a trophy
of a lifetime and wants to preserve it for many years to come. This
man takes great pride in his work and pays close attention to every
little detail, and mounts every trophy like it is his own.
Good
Hunting!

I
shot a piebald last November and took it to someone to process.
I called Mountin' Man Taxidermy at 8:00 PM on a Friday night. I
was surprised that Dane, having never met me before and knowing
how critical it is to cape the short haired piebald correctly came
out to the butchers house and caped the piebald himself. Then, even
more to my amazement, he took the cape home with him and worked
on it that night to make sure that the mount would be perfect for
me.
The next
experience I had with Mountin' Man Taxidermy was more of the same.
I shot a 6 point buck in full velvet. Dane, I know worked really
hard on that buck to make sure all the velvet stayed perfect.
Dane
takes so much pride in his work and will do everything in his power
to make sure your mount is life-like and exactly what you want.
The quality of workmanship and the attention to detail makes each
mount that Mountin' Man Taxidermy has done for me outstanding.
I would
recommend - and have recommended him to anyone looking for a taxidermist
that does top quality work at a reasonable rate.
Thank
you Dane for a wonderful experience.

May
of 2005, I was fortunate enough to harvest my first black bear.
After looking at a few taxidermists work on bear, I wasn't completely
satisfied. My friend showed me a beautiful 3/4 black bear mount
Dane had done for him. Five minutes after meeting Dane, I knew he
was truly a professional. Thank you, Dane, for a beautiful job.
You are not only an excellent taxidermist, but also an artist. The
attention to detail is what sets you apart.
Fast,
friendly, and reasonable. You wont be disappointed.

To
our brother/brother-in-law, the "Mountin Man" of the
outdoors who captures your memories so you can enjoy
the rest of your life! Our living room wall displaying our

great animals and even more proud to have someone with
an extra special talent to mount them with such detail. The
pride in his work is shown through the realistic look of
each animal which is a perfection you can trust when
dropping off your favorite game to Mountin' Man Taxidermy.
We love you and thanks for a GREAT job!

Let
me start out by telling you that I'm the hardest person on earth
to please. I can always find a flaw in my work or in another's.
I have had other deer mounts done by other taxidermists have been
very upset with their work.
When
I shot my buck, I was unable to use the original cape. I was very
concerned about finding a cape that would be suitable to replace
the original cape. After two years of talking with many taxidermists,
and seeing their work, I felt that Dane was the best person for
the job and the only one who could meet my standards. Not only did
Dane find me a exceptional cape, he surpassed my expectations.
I'm
extremely happy with Dane's work, you could look for hours and never
find a flaw. My buck mount is the most realistic, life-like mount
I have ever seen. I will never think about anyone else but Dane
to mount any of my animals. I recommend anyone who expects top quality
workmanship to choose Mountin' Man taxidermy.

In
November 2005 I was able to get my biggest buck to date with my
muzzleloader in Virginia. Dane did an excellent job of ensuring
that I would have the nicest mount to view in my home for years
to come. Dane is very friendly and professional, and takes pride
in his work. He was able to provide my mount in a timely manner
and still provide excellent craftsmanship. I am looking forward
to working with Dane in the future.

Dane
did a wonderful job mounting a recent Texas Rio gobbler kill. He
was professional and very friendly, made me feel like we were old
friends. I have other mounts at my home that I'm very proud of,
but, because of Mountin' Man and his craftmanship, I have a longbeard
on my wall to admire and help rekindle many good memories of my
first but not last Texas hunt. I have found my taxidermy man and
a new friend also. See you in the spring Dane.

Randy
Woods here to tell you that Dane did an excellent job mounting the
first bear that I got in New Brunswick, Canada. He took pride and
went into great detail on my half-lifesize mount. The estimated
time for getting it back was 11 months, but I got it back in just
7 months. I am very pleased with his level of service and will have
him do future mounts for me.

In
the past 3 years I've had 5 mounts done by Dane. These include a
strutting turkey, flying turkey, a fox and 2 shoulder mounted deer.
The attention to detail that Dane has is incredible with the mounts
turning out better than I could expect. Dane works with me on all
aspects of the mount asking questions, which I never think could
be incorporated into
the mount, that help him create the art that adorns my walls.
Reasonable rates with fast and friendly services. He's the only(!)
one I will trust with my mounts.

I
am an avid outdoorsman who takes pride in the life like appearance
of all my mounts. I have had many trophies mounted, deer, turkey,
bear, and fish by several taxidermist some of which I was very disappointed.
After going to the Mountain Man Taxidermy and seeing the quality
and craftsmanship of his work, there is no comparison to the others.
It is by far superior than any I have seen and would not trust anyone
else with my once in a life time trophies again.

Dane,
Thank you, what a job! You are a very professional
person in all respects. In only the short time I have known you,
you seem like a friend of many years. You helped me chose the mount
to display in my trophy room, it was a perfect fit. I have other
mounts (elk, whitetail, and mule deer) and have had dealings with
other taxidermists. While they were not all bad, I've learned that
not all are good either. I highly recommend Mountin' Man Taxidermy
as a great taxidermist and a person who cares. Looking forward to
seeing you soon.
With sincere gratitude,
John Thornton

I
have had Dane do 2 bucks for me, and have 2 more with him right
now. He also has a fish that he is doing for me as well. There is
nobody else that I would trust with my trophies. I have had a few
other taxidermists do work for me and there is an overwhelming difference
in quality of work. It is as though Dane is doing his own trophy,
the amount of detail he puts into each mount. I believe a lot of
the attention to detail comes from the love of fishing and hunting
Dane himself has.

My
family and I love to show our friends the bear and deer Dane has
mounted. After looking up close at the definition Dane puts into
his mounts, they want his name and number. Big or small he takes
pride in his taxidermy. The added bonus is his fast turn-around,
great prices and quality that goes with a world class job. We, as
hunters, spend countless hours trying to take that next trophy.
So do yourself and the animal a favor and call the Mountin' Man.
It will be one of the best hunting tips you will ever get!

Dane,
Great job on all 3 of my deer mounts. The detail and workmen ship
are the best I have seen. Everyone asks were I got them done and
I tell them the "Mountin Man", and I will use no one else!!
Thanks for the wonderful trophies.

I
am like a lot of other hunters - we try and spend as much time in
the outdoors as possible. Not everyone has the opportunity to harvest
180 class whitetails and 500 pound black bears. The biggest buck
I've taken to date is a 135 class whitetail I had the opportunity
to harvest on a hunt, not knowing at the time it would be the last
with a truly great friend and sportsman. The memory of this hunt
I want to last forever.
I chose Dane at Mountin Man Taxidermy to mount the buck for me.
This was one of the best decisions I ever made. Not only did the
mount turn out to exceptional, way above the quality and attention
to detail that I had ever seen - but I got a great friend in return.
The memory of that hunt lives on every time I look at the mount.
If you are lucky enough to know what hunting is all about, let Dane
preserve the memories for you.
Thanks for this opportunity Dane,
