August 17, 2006 at 3:35 am #470061I would but iam not real good with the computer , I been looking at this site for 2 years and just now figuring out how to reply lol . ill see what my wife can do she is alot better then me.
August 17, 2006 at 3:36 am #470062Not sure of any places around the quad cities. One thing I will mention though is if you are thinking of putting it on the table or anywhere other than the wall be sure to mention that to your taxidermist. Most of the time they usally have a slice along the side and then just stiched back together. If you will be able to see both side you would not want to see that. Just an FYI.
Yeah what BrianK said, Have any pics?

I have this feeling that when you’re sitting in the retirment home, looking out the window…this picture will be on your night stand.
That’s going to make a real nice mount.

August 17, 2006 at 1:08 pm #470153Cory Caruthers in Des Moines is very good. I think he also makes frequent trips to MPLS. He has won many awards and did a walleye for me.
E-mial if you would like more info. [email protected]August 17, 2006 at 3:54 pm #470246Very nice picture and Gill
The set up she is using looks like BrianK’s Walleye gear!
August 17, 2006 at 7:51 pm #470321A guy by the name of doug peters is a taxidermist in the waterloo cf area and he does very nice work. I can’t remember the name of his business though, but would imagine his name is in the phone book. I would reccomend giving him a call i know he does alot of fish.
