I met Darrell in Colorado in 2019 and he taught me how to fly fish. Flash forward to now I saw him again in Colorado and caught up. I've never personally used his taxidermy services but if anything, I can attest to his good and honest character. Darrell will treat you like family even if he's never met you before. Thanks for teaching me to fly fish and for all of the stories you told me and my family around the campfire. P.S Darrell is probably one of, if not the best fly fisherman in the country. If you want to know anything about fly fishing or where to go and what to use, he knows. read more

Dodd's Wildlife Taxidermy - Darrell teaching me to fly fish. - Taxidermy Near Me - Tampa, Florida

An honest and personable guy. If your one of those types on a first name basis with your taxidermist look no further than Darrell. As a Florida winter resident he has my winter business for life. He's currently fiberglass reproducing my grandsons Colorado trophy lake trout and was open and honest when I asked him if the 38" Barracuda I'd caught this past weekend in Key West was worthy of reproducing. He stated it was a nice fish but there should be many more much larger "Cudas" and suggested I wait for a bigger specimen which he assured me will surely come even though he could have easily taken my money. Thank you Darrell. Bruce from Missouri read more

If you're looking for an experienced taxidermist, look no further. Mr Dodd is professional, polite and a pleasure to talk with. My daughter and I brought a bass we were interested in keeping to our "local" taxidermist. Mr. Dodd walked us through the entire process then kindly shared several stories about local hunter's success in the area. We planned to stop in, drop off bass then leave. After meeting Mr.Dodd, we stayed for almost an hour. The ride home all we talked about was Mr Dodd's humble and kind personality. read more
