      Animal Mount Details

      Bears Den Taxidermy works on a broad mix of big game, small game, birds, and fish, and also handles skull work and long-term trophy collections.

      You can choose from shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, fish mounts, pedestal pieces, and custom bases or habitat-style displays.

      Owner Chuck Chubb brings over 35 years of taxidermy experience and a deep personal hunting background to every project.

      Reviews highlight excellent craftsmanship, artistic presentation, and long-term durability that keeps repeat clients coming back for decades.


      Pricing & Turnaround

      The studio requires a 50% deposit when you bring in a piece, with a 5% monthly service charge on completed work not paid within 30 days and mounts left over 60 days becoming the property of Bears Den Taxidermy; they also stress proper field care and that all capes are accepted at the owner’s risk.

      Reviews suggest the work offers strong value for the quality, and there is no clear published turnaround time, so you should contact the shop directly for current timelines.

      They create pedestal mounts and custom habitat-style bases to enhance how your finished trophies display.
