Oggie Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 Hi Guys. My son caught a jumbo perch over 15" this winter on Simcoe. He wants to have it mounted. Advanced Taxidermy isn't a possibility, he says it's too small a job. Just wondering if anyone can recommend another taxidermist in the Barrie to Guelph to Kincardine area. He'll drive but he doesn't want to just hand it off without a little feedback from someone. Thanks Dan O.
quickme Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 I know a guy in Brampton. JJS taxidermy. John Manser, great guy and does amazing work. very reasonable. Tell him Nick sent you, Tony Ho's son. 905 846 0912

jimmer Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 Chris Bowyer in Brentwood (around Angus) is a master taxidermist if he is still doing it. I think he is. A number on the internet is 705-424-6772. He is very good at painting and you should be happy with the results. I was a taxidermist for 25 years and saw his work at many competitions. He usually wiped up with the awards.

Not sure he,s open anymore. Could be wrong,but he does great work as well.
akaShag Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) I agree with jimmer. Chris Bowyer is a master taxidermist, does fabulous work, and is a nice guy to deal with. He did have quite a backlog of work last time I saw him, which was a few years back. But if you are going to pay for taxidermy, you might as well get quality work done.

nancur373 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Posted April 5, 2014 Never had anything mounted but I hear Proline does great work.
Fisherpete Posted April 5, 2014 Report Posted April 5, 2014 Andrew (Lunkerhunter) had a pair of perch done at Advanced last year, they really wouldn't do one for you? Strange... and unfortunate. . Maybe they are just super busy with big orders or something. His perch look awesome.

I'm getting my 16 inch crappie done in a few weeks by him
Handlebarz Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 I was just talking to James about getting a couple perch done he had no problem at all. I'm not sure who you talked to but with every dealing I have heard of at advanced they have always done the work. They are very busy right now and running a couple months behind. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience there. As others have said lots of others out there that are not as busy. Btw 15" is a awesome perch.
