TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Howell, Michigan
Anything That Moves Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio located in Howell, Michigan, operating as a Michigan-based, family-owned shop led by Thomas Stombaugh.
They focus on museum-quality, lifelike mounts that honor both the hunt and the animal, with an emphasis on whitetail deer, large and small game shoulder mounts, rugs, and custom display pieces.
The studio works on North American big game, small game, mammals, birds, and rugs, with a strong focus on whitetail deer and other game heads, and is currently not accepting fish work.
You can choose from shoulder mounts, full-body mounts for appropriate small game, bird mounts, game heads, rugs, skull mounts, and custom display pieces.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience and continuous operation since 2002, this award-winning, full-time studio brings deep expertise in taxidermy for North American species.
They highlight realistic, anatomically accurate, museum-quality work with strong attention to detail and natural, lifelike presentation.
They offer free estimates, describe their pricing as competitive, and invite you to call, text, or use their online form for project-specific quotes, with separate posted fees for CWD lymph node removal services that are waived for taxidermy mounting customers.
They emphasize competitive, timely turnaround and schedule work by appointment only seven days a week, with reviews noting mounts often completed when promised, sometimes faster than quoted, and occasionally involving a longer but worthwhile wait.
Additional services include custom rugs, skull mounts, specialty display pieces, CWD-related lymph node removal, and assistance with deer registration.
Reviewers consistently praise the mounts as high-quality, very lifelike, and artistic, often calling Tom an artist whose attention to detail is second to none.
Customers describe Tom and his wife as friendly, honest, professional, and easy to work with, with many saying they have used the studio for years and will not go anywhere else.
Reviews mention work being finished when promised or sooner and generally view the turnaround as acceptable to very good, noting that even when the wait is longer, the results are worth it, and that pricing feels reasonable for the quality.
The studio is based in Howell, Michigan, serving hunters and customers across Livingston County and the broader Michigan area by appointment only.
