Fowlmouth,

Jody Goodman at Bug to the Bone does it in Fountain.  He does a great job too.  The price last I knew (which was about a month ago)was 70.00 for the skull with out a plaque and 80.00 with a plaque.  You can ship to him too.

You can tell him I refered you if you like.  Just tell him Wendy refered you and he will know.

His number is 231-462-8961

I don't know if that is central enough for you,  Fountain is by Ludington,  just a little po dunk town that I live in.

If you need more info let me know.

Wendy what do you mean Po dunk?  :) Fountain has its own Post Office and a gas station that often has the cheapest gas around. The railroad tracks may be the only thing that slows people down as they go through town, but it is in Michigan's beautiful northwest corner! Po dunk, I love it.  ;D  Now where do you think a term like that ever originated? You'll have to get the towns folk to organize and have the first Michigan Po Dunk Festival. Say Hi to Terry.

Take care,
Dan

I'm sure you've got your skull into somebody by now, but for future
reference, Jay Whales taxidermy on M-46 just east of Meridian road,
(on the midland-saginaw county line) has bugs now. 
I think this is his second year.  I have two skulls there now.
Jay charged $70 with an oak plaque this year.  I'll start another thread with
before and after pics. 
His number is 989-643-7040. he's done one head mount for me and tanned
a couple hides of various sorts.
