Where to get a Deer Head mounted & processed??????

[jcb1968]

Where is the best place for the money in or around Cleveland to get a deer head mounted??? My dad killed a 7 pointer this evening right before dark. Also,does anyone know of the man up towards Lamontville,that processes deer and makes them into summer sausage. We want to get this one done this way,but don`t know the guys name or number. We have just heard of a guy in Lamontville that does them like that. We have him on ice til morning. Any information would be greatfully appreciated!!!
Thanks,Jeff

Earnest "Porky" Herron has been doing my taxidermy for years. He is a former art teacher and his mounts look very life like. Very reasonably priced.
He lives out off of Spring Place Road.

For an excellent mount I suggest Greg Thornton in Dalton. He is the best that I've seen in this area. He can be reached at Blue Circle Carpet.

Deer Masters, 706-866-4536. Just across into Rossville. Been doing my processing since I moved here. Very professional. The guy that runs it is a butcher for Bilo. I have never had them mount one. I believe they only process it and another person does the mounting through them. I heard that they were done very well. They could process it for you and just tell them you are going to have it mounted, they will put the head and cape in their cooler and they if you have someone else in mind they can mount it for you.

The man off of Lamontville Rd that makes the summer sausage is Mr. Blankenship. I cannot remember his first name off the top of my head. He did sme for me a couple of years ago and it was good. He is a good guy and has a great family. Hope this helps. Tell your dad congrats.

I agree! He is my uncle and did the BobCat mount that I posted pictures of. Been doing taxidermy for over 25 years and does a heck of a job. Reasonably priced too.
