Animal Mount Details
They work on big game, small game, birds, fish, and game heads, with a strong emphasis on whitetail deer trophies.
You can choose from full-body, half-body, head, wall, and pedestal mounts, and they will customize the pose and presentation to your preferences.
Jeff Morris has over three decades of experience, has mounted animals since the early 1970s, founded Big River Taxidermy in 1997, and teaches and judges taxidermy at a high level.
The studio emphasizes anatomical accuracy, deep detail work, and lifelike grooming to produce mounts that look alive and hold up well over time.
