Ojai Valley Taxidermy

If you haven't seen award-winning taxidermist Chuck Testa's amazing promotional video yet—well, get with the program. It went viral a while back, and Testa's business has been booming ever since; he's a homegrown local celebrity, and may even get his own reality TV show soon. Even if you're not in the market for a deer head or a stuffed duck, stop by Testa's shop (in an extended garage next to his house) and check out his craft. He's great at what he does and loves visitors: He'll show you what he's working on, tell a few motorcycle stories and pose for as many "nope!" themed pictures as you want. (Alternatively, if you DO need something stuffed, cleaned or mounted, Chuck Testa is the guy to go to. For all his jokes and quirks, he's one of the best taxidermists around.)
