Send a PM to Taximan. He is located in Logan, and I have been told that he does great work.

I too would recomend our own: taximan

I’ve been to his shop and his work does look good. His price is reasonable. Send him a PM:

Have you ever heard of Mountain Man Taxidermy in Laketown (Round Valley)? Roger Early is the man. He mainly does big game, but I’ve seen a couple of his lake trout mounts and they look just like the macs you catch in Bear Lake. He is pricey, but his work is awesome.

Hi- Several years ago I had Jim Campbell of Campbell’s Taxidermy in Wellsville do a large mouth bass for me. He did a good job and it is a skin mount (the actual fish) not a replica like a lot of the shops wanted to do. Back then it cost ten dollars per inch of fish to mount and I have heard it is slightly more now. I estimated the large wiper I caught two weeks ago would cost $240 or more to have mounted. The bad thing about Jim is that he is so busy it took him nine months to get the fish done. Acey

I think that Jim Campbell and Taximan are one and the same.
