I've had three bucks, a bear rug and an aoudad all done at Central Coast Taxidermy. Their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I received all of my animals back within time frames set and with amazing detail. These guys really do precise fine detailed work and having hunted the central coast for my whole life, meeting them and having a quality local taxidermist in has set the taxidermy bar very high! read more

I took a bobcat in to be mounted and was given a timeline to complete of 10 months. I checked the status of it in person ( a 3 hour drive each way ) at about 6 months and they said it was at the tannery. I called them at 10 months and they said they hadn't got to it yet. I called at 13 months and they had no idea where it was. They sent me a picture of a pelt that was damaged and asked if it was mine. I took detailed pics before I took the cat in and this pelt clearly wasn't mine. These guys lost my cat and tried to pass off a substandard pelt to me. They sent me back my deposit which doesn't begin to compensate me for the time I have into harvesting and transporting and checking on the status of the mount. I've been hunting for over 35 years and this cat was the first I felt was worth mounting and this company's disorganization cost me time, money and a beautiful animal. They blamed the loss on the tannery. I called the tannery and they said the mistake was on Central Coast Taxidermy as they sent back all the pelts they received. read more
