Banded Creations Taxidermy

Banded Creations Taxidermy works on big game, small game, birds, and fish, with both head and full-body options plus European mounts.

You can choose from shoulder-style game heads, lifesize mounts, European skull mounts, fish skin mounts, and fish reproductions, as well as custom habitat bases and pedestals by request.

Tyler opened the studio after several years as a professional firefighter, bringing a strong personal passion for hunting, the outdoors, and conservation into his taxidermy work.

The business stresses quality preservation starting in the field, with an emphasis on clean, well-finished mounts and skulls that look natural and well cared for.

The shop lists clear category-based pricing, requires a 50% deposit at drop-off, and provides example rates such as $825 for many game heads, $3,500 for many lifesize big game pieces, $24–$26 per inch for fish, and $150–$275 for most European mounts, with surcharges for open-mouth mounts and additional charges for pedestals or habitat; bird taxidermy is on hold for the 2025–2026 season.

Specific project turnaround times are not listed, but reviews note work finished in good time, and all visits are by appointment so you are asked to call to arrange meet-up times.

The studio offers custom habitat bases for fish and lifesize mounts, skull cleaning associated with European mounts, and an online custom quote form along with extensive field care instructions for game, fish, birds, and turkeys.
