Kilback did a deer for me years ago, a good job but I have no Idea if he is still around. His place was near OK Falls. Kilback was his last name

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Harley White in Westbank 250-768-5502.

He just raised his prices after 4 years without increases. Deer went up by $100. Excellent work and turn around time is usually less than 1 year.

Dean Titanich is also in Kelowna(don't have his number). Very good work also. Much cheaper but turn around time is getting reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally long.

BTW.... G/G-You get your grizzly back yet??:roll: You're not getting any younger, you know:sad:!

I would recommend Harley white he did my deer turn around time was a year and he did a awsome job looks great!

Harley has done some spectacular work for my family over the years. My dad just picked up his 06 lion from Harley last weekend. It's beautiful.

[ribber]

Harley White is my choice too, he has done my Muley , my Goat amd my Bison, excellent work and a nice guy to boot :smile:

Grizzly bear? What grizzly bear? :roll:


Re taxidermists

What SSS said.

[WoodOx]

How big was the grizz?

[Stone Sheep Steve]

How big was the grizz?

Let's just say it had a bigger claw-to-claw measurement before it encountered GG:D.

I agree, Harley has some real nice work in his show room as well. Just go there, spend some time in his shop and i think anyone would want him to do there work......

Oh ya and i think my 7' 3" brown phase black bear should be ready for me....

[Fisher-Dude]

Harley White gets my vote too. He's done several deer for me, and I can say that any of them could win an award in a taxidermy show!

Dean Titanich does nice work as well, if you don't mind the wait.

[islandhunter]

Well it sounds like harley white is the guy to talk to. Nothing better than word of mouth! Thanx guys.

Dwayne's turn around time is not great. I know of one goat he is doing and it is going on 3 years.

[Mckinney Creek Adventures]

I have to recommend Barry Kilback as well. He is a friend of mine, and does excellent work. Give him a call and stop by. He is an interesting guy. Always has lots on the go for a guy to googly eye at.

Has anyone ever had work done by Westwind Taxidermy in Westbank? Seems to have good pricing & quick turn around times.

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Good pricing and quick turn around times usually is not a good thing when choosing a top notch taxidermist.
You may end up with a taxi job like BHB posted of his coyote last year:shock:.
