I'm looking for a good deer taxidermist in the east TN area. They don't have to be cheap or fast, just good. Anybody have any recommendations?

The only deer I have mounted was done by Adam's in Claxton. The mount is 10 years old, and looks just as good today as the day I got it.

Okay, Depending on where you are coming from, This is quite possibly the best taxidermist I know of! He as been doing it forever! He does the job right and they look awesome. Byrd's Taxidermy in Huntsville, well its closer to Campbell County than it is Oneida, but he does work for all kinds of people from surrounding counties. He actually does alot of work from Knoxville also. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Joyce Hurst mounted 2 bucks for me 5 years ago and it took 18 months to get em back and they were such horrible mounts that this past year i brought them to another taxidermist and had em re-done.

Kenny Branchfield of Polk county hands down. He is a little higher but to him each is like a piece of art. He has won tons of National Taxidermy contests. When it comes to taxidermy you get what u pay for.
