Animal Mount Details
Alpine Custom Taxidermy works primarily on big game and exotic mammals, including North American, African, and Asian species, and does not offer fish or bird taxidermy.
They provide shoulder and head mounts, life‑size and pedestal pieces, rugs, antler mounts, and custom habitat dioramas.
Mark brings more than two decades of professional experience and personally oversees every step of each mount as a full‑time, competition‑focused taxidermist.
The shop emphasizes anatomical accuracy, lifelike detail, and natural poses using top‑quality tanning and materials rather than mass‑produced forms.
