Animal Art Taxidermy

Animal Art Taxidermy works on big game, small game, birds, and fish, offering both head and skull work along with antler mounts.

Available mount styles include shoulder and game head mounts, European-style skull mounts, antler mounts, bird and fish skin mounts, pedestal options, and custom habitat bases.

Owner Steve Lovell is a graduate of The Dan Rinehart Taxidermy School, is state and federally licensed, and is an avid hunter and fisherman.

Customers describe his work as highly detailed, realistic, and artistic, often noting that finished mounts exceed their expectations.

The studio posts detailed, itemized pricing—for example, a whitetail deer shoulder mount at $700, antelope at $800, elk or caribou at $1300, wild boar at $850, deer antler mounts at $150, and various fish mounts such as bass at $300 and walleye at $375—with a 50% deposit required, extra charges for repairs, skinning, and spoiled meat, and credit cards accepted with a 2.4% fee.

The owner emphasizes fast, reliable service, and reviewers report accurate time frames and turnaround that is often quick or even faster than promised.

The shop offers natural habitat bases, pedestal options, driftwood, tanning done at the customer’s own risk, and may purchase or accept partial trades of good deer capes for antler mounts.
