I'm looking for a good whitetail taxidermist in South Central WI, madison area in particular. Other animal skills (e.g. birds, varmints) are a plus. I've seen some local work and haven't been overly impressed with what I have seen thus far. Any recommendations? I'd rather pay extra $ for something perfect rather than save and have to stare at something not-so-perfect on the wall for the rest of my life.

Re: South Central WI Taxidermist?
I highly recommend Brian Olson. He's in Platteville which would be a little drive for you but definitely worth it if you want really good deer, birds, and other mammals. He is full time and a former World and State Champion. He is one of the 3 sculptors that created the Competitor's Chioce line of deer shoulder mount manikins for Matuska Taxidermy Supply. His prices are likely higher than most but his work is worth it. Brian excels at deer, other gameheads, and birds. I think you should take a ltittle time and go check him out.
