Bauman's Taxidermy

The studio works on fish, reptiles, big game, small to medium mammals, antler and skull pieces, but does not accept birds or domestic pets.

Available mount styles include gamehead and lifesize mounts, fish skin mounts and replicas, antler and European skull mounts, with optional pedestal and habitat base upgrades.

Kenneth Bauman also molds and casts custom reproduction fish blanks for other taxidermists, ranging from raw forms to ready-to-paint and fully finished pieces.

Reviews consistently describe his work as highly detailed, realistic, and award-winning at state, national, and world levels, with many long-term repeat customers.

The studio publishes a detailed price list, including $32.00 per inch for all fish skin mounts and reproductions (with a $350 minimum and simple habitat included), per-inch pricing for snakes, tiered pricing for gameheads and lifesize mounts, defined prices for antler and European skull mounts, and per-inch pricing for custom reproduction blanks and commercial replicas, with a 33% deposit required and customers responsible for shipping and any McKenzie product surcharges.

Commercial reproduction fish work normally has a 3–6 month turnaround, reproduction fish are noted as the quickest option, and reviews that mention timing say the work is completed in a timely manner.

The studio offers simple and more complex habitat/base work, pedestal and wall pedestal options, rug work, skull cleaning, commercial reproduction blanks for other taxidermists, and support by phone or text for blanks and orders.
