Taxidermist ?

Post by digitroll (ron) »

My neighbor asked me where he can get a fish mounted yesterday. I haven't had a fish mounted a fish in 35 years myself. I remember a guy named Yeager I think on the burlington north avenue not sure he is still doing it. He was our last person to mount a fish and before that Renaud from Winooski before he stopped to focus on animal mounts.

Oh good! I remembered his name after posting.. Great he is still active doing mounts! I liked it when it was $100 for a 30 or 40" fish in the mid eighties!

Thanks!

Picked up a lake Champlain brown from him a year or so ago. He is still doing it as far as I know. Here is his email;)

Muskiedoug45@gmail.com

Here is a salmon he did for me. It is not as blue as it looks in the ic, my room lighting was off.

And a pic of the lake Champlain lake record laker he took when I stopped in last time:)

He did a great job, lakers can be a challenge!

Nice job on the mounts! He has come a long way since the mid 80's on his mounts! He was just starting out then. My neighbor will contact him. Thanks Matt.

This is the Lake Champlain brown he did for me during Covid. I think this is the best mount I have ever seen…

He hand painted every spot to perfectly match the fish…
