    Animal Mount Details

    Bob works on big game, birds, and fish, offering options that cover most typical North American hunting and fishing trophies.

    You can choose from shoulder mounts, full body mounts, European mounts, antler displays, rugs, and both skin and reproduction fish mounts, including flying or standing bird poses.

    Bob has over 40 years of experience in taxidermy and now dedicates his days to the craft after careers in the US Air Force and as an engineer with Northrop Grumman.

    Reviews consistently highlight his attention to detail, lifelike results, and successful restorations as signs of strong craftsmanship.


    Pricing & Turnaround

    The studio publishes detailed, itemized pricing, with examples like deer shoulder mounts around $950, elk and caribou shoulder mounts around $1900, moose shoulder mounts around $2300, bear rugs around $1500, bird mounts around $300–$500, fish skin mounts at about $20 per inch, and reproduction fish mounts priced as labor plus the cost of the replica blank, all described as very competitive.

    Customers repeatedly mention that Bob’s turnaround times are faster than other shops, often beating his own estimates and delivering euro mounts, birds, fish, and big game shoulder mounts in noticeably less time than competing taxidermists.

    He also offers bear rugs, restoration and repair of old or damaged mounts and rugs, antlers on plaques or tree slabs, and habitat or custom base work noted in reviews.
