I too have seen the photos of her bobcats...I hope I can get one and take it her way.
I might not have alot of deer showing on my cameras this year but the landowner did kill one bobcat last season and I've had a big one on the cameras this month. We'll see if a novice and an electronic caller have any luck.

Texas Wildlife Taxidermy in Keller did my whitetail buck from last year. I was very satisfied with his work.

Terry Covington in Lake Dallas. I have had deer, ducks, pheasant and bobcat done by him. Excellent work.
Anybody that see's my Bobcat mount say's it's the best they have ever seen.

I had a goose stuffed at the Flagg Group this past year and was pleased with the outcome. I think their prices for birds are a bit higher than others I have seen, but can't really compare the work to others. I am pleased though. Their website is www.theflagggroupinc.com

terry's work is good but if he let's someone else do the work then it ain't good find work you like and make sure the same person does the work, like Flagg is one shop but who knows which taxidermist is doing the work. Some taxidermy guys are great but you need to be dam sure that is who is doing the work, wholesale taxidermist doing work for others can be an issue, friends in the business and it goes on alot more than you guys know. Just my .02 cents!

Ladi Taxi, those are some good lookin' bobcat mounts. I really like the one your website that is wall mounted (looks like he is climbing down a limb).
Got a picture of a good sized one on a deer cam a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully i have a bobcat mount in my future.
When he was young, I told Dale Jr. that hunting and racing are a lot alike. Holding that steering wheel and holding that rifle both mean you better be responsible.

I will vouch for Flagg's work. It is not the cheapest but you will get a solid mount and they are there to answer questions and have more examples of work done than anyone else around. I think their large game animals are hard to beat, they are above and beyond just the deer head. They also do cats that look right.
I always told mysself that if I caught a fish big enough that it was going to covington. Awesome fish and birds.
Ladi Taxi Im very impressed with your cat mounts; how much are you charging for lifesize? They are very realistic looking unlike some others.

Speaking of bobcats, was wondering any tips of care of the animal between the field and getting them to the taxidermist. Should a bobcat be field dressed or taken intact? Guessing a delivery time of two days to a week.

Flagg group is good. Take a look around at lunch. The place is huge. You will see everything from lion, monkeys, giraffes to dove. It's just fun to look around.

Furs & Feathers in Milford, (Near Hillsboro)
Great work, awesome service, and reasonable prices.
The last whitetail I had shoulder mounted was $350.
Two years ago. I dropped off an eight point Sundat for a euro mount on a piece of cedar, it will be $150.

We use a place over in Mesquite. Its out of a guy's garage, but the quality is excellent. He is an older man. They are only taking a certain number of deer from now on. His name is Mr. Harper, I can give you the address and his number tomorrow, if i can find it.
You haven't lived until you've hunted.

I've heard good stuff about Flagg Group - but do they have a website? I know I saw one once but everything I pull up lately seems to be a dead link for them.
Flagg does a good job. A guy on my lease got his buck back from last year and it looked fantastic (at least to me).
