    Anyone have some info on a reputable taxidermist? I live in NE Indiana and am looking for someone in my area all the way to Catawba. Any insight would be appreciated!

    Steve's Taxidermy and Tannery in Ottoville Ohio.

    Does my stuff. Pretty nice work.Recommended and proven taxidermist-13-2-lb-32-inch-lake-erie-20115-jpg

    It is how he makes his living 100% for many years. Lots of awards, credentials, and has mounted just about everything there is to mount. He has his own tannery. Most ship all hides, and skins off to a tannery. One picky fellow.

    Look at the cheeks on that beast, I feel like I could just reach in there and pop one out, very nice work I will need to keep him in mind.

    Steve skinned that fish out while I watched, and I took all the meat home with me. I was so neat to watch him do it.

    I can't remember for sure. It was either $11.00 or $13.00 per inch but I think it was $11.00. The one in the pic was 32.25 inches. This was last Summer when I paid him. Fish was caught in Jan of 2015.

    Another option near the lake is Artistic Touch in Oregon, Ohio. (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Artis...22322947824149). Although I've never had a fish done by them, I had each of my two Son's first ducks (a green wing and a woodie) done by them and the results were very nice.
