There is no doubt that Jeff is a world class taxidermist and will deliver with a quality taxidermy product. Some of the most prominent hunters, outfitters, suppliers and even politicians have claimed that Jeff is one of the best taxidermists in the business:
“I have 30 trophy bucks on the wall and based on a friend’s recommendation, decided to have Bucky’smount a Boone and Crockett buck I shot in 2005. The work was among the best I have ever seen.”
Andrae D’Acquisto, Lone Wolf Treestands
“Taxidermists trained under Joe Meder are consistently a step above the rest. Jeff combines that knowledge and training with impressive talent and creativity to produce exceptional taxidermy. Jeff handles much of our local work, and I highly recommend his services.”
Larry L. Huffman, Legendary Whitetails
“A project as important as the world record deer, The Missouri Monarch, needed a taxidermy service to trust and provide a superior product. Bucky’s Taxidermy provided these key elements.”
The Missouri Conservation Congress
“Bucky’s Taxidermy mounted my buck last year; the deer looks more life-like than any other buck I have on the wall! If you want your trophy to look like a ‘Trophy’ go see Jeff at Bucky’s.”
Ted Fischer, TRF Outdoors, Competition Turkey Caller,
Banquet Chairman NWTF North Shore Chapter
“At Bass Pro Shops we choose taxidermists that can deliver high quality work and in a reasonable time frame. Jeff’s world class mounts are hanging in our museum and many of our stores. His mounts have appeared on our catalog covers, calendars and clothing apparel. The Mel Johnson Buck which is the number one typical archery kill in the world was one of the featured mounts provided by Bucky’s. Jeff has also replicated many world and state record whitetails, moose, and caribou that hang in our museum and stores today. Bucky’s Taxidermy is our #1 choice!”
Bass Pro Shops
“With the time and effort I invest in hunting each year, I need a taxidermy service that can provide me with quality mounts to preserve each hunting memory. The work of Bucky’s Taxidermy does just that, each mount has its own character – they look alive!”
Dave Grisar, DDS, Ozaukee County Delegate
Wisconsin Conservation Congress
“Jeff Knapp is a great friend of mine and has mounted all of my deer, however, rest assure there is no bias here. Jeff does not mount your animal, he recreates it. Although the blood is no longer coursing through the animal’s veins, it remains alive. If there was dew on your buck’s whiskers when you harvested it, it will be there. A gouged-out eye from a fight with another buck? It will be there. On the other hand if you want the eye repaired, that’s not a problem either. Whether it’s a deer, bear, or even a moose; If you want life-like, you want Bucky’s.”
Brett Hauswirth, Friend of Jeff’s and Avid Deer Hunter
“Traveling the world as a big game hunter I see alot of taxidermy work. Jeff’s mounts are the best quality I have ever seen. The time he spend with me discussing my specific taxidermy needs guarantees the unique quality mounts I insist on!”
Joe Federl
“I hunt many states and live in a different state than Bucky’s. I would go to no other taxidermist! Jeff’s people-person personality and close attention to detail is by far like no other! Having mounts done byBucky’s is well worth the drive!”
Jim Natoli
“Jeff is the best in the business!”
Bill Winkie, Author
“After 15 years of hunting, I was lucky enough to shoot my first real trophy whitetail last fall. After asking my father which taxidermist to use, he left little doubt that Bucky’s Taxidermy was the place to go for a high quality mount (he knew because Jeff had finished his big 9 pointer a couple of months earlier). Not only did Jeff get my trophy buck back months before I expected it, but he made my buck come back to life. Now I will be able to admire my monster buck for years to come. I hope to be seeing Bucky’s again this fall!”
Justin Behm
“Bucky’s has been my taxidermist since 1992. Over the years I have seen Jeff grow from a very good taxidermist to the best! My sons and I have 20 trophies mounted by Bucky’s including one Boone & Crockett buck that I had mounted life size. The taxidermy and basework is outstanding. I personally know twelve other hunters who have chosen Jeff as their taxidermist and they have highly recommended Jeff to others. His work is as life-like as it gets!”
