Bob's Wildlife Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio located in Orefield, Pennsylvania, serving local and worldwide hunters with full-time, full-service wildlife taxidermy.
Owner Bob V. Danenhower Sr. runs a long-established shop focused on lifelike game mounts, hide tanning, and pelts from its Kernsville Road location.
They operate as a comprehensive wildlife studio, handling animals from around the world in an artistic, display-ready way.
They work on big game, small game, exotics, fish, and wild birds, welcoming all big game and waterfowl.
Available work includes full-body mounts, bird mounts, traditional fish skin mounts, and professional hide tanning for display skins and pelts.
Bob has devoted his life to taxidermy and the outdoors, started learning at 13, became the youngest licensed taxidermist in Pennsylvania at 18, and has operated at the same Orefield location for about 30 years.
The studio emphasizes museum-quality, anatomically accurate mounts using top-of-the-line, Made-in-the-USA materials and professional tanning designed to last for generations.
They do not list set prices online and encourage you to contact the shop directly for product pricing and ordering details.
Turnaround times are not specified on the site; the shop invites you to ask about current timelines and notes that they respond as quickly as possible during posted business hours.
They also provide bait sales in spring, deer lures and scents in fall, and offer advice on planning hunts abroad and field care for trophies.
Most reviewers praise the quality as excellent, realistic, and artistic, with several calling the work museum-quality and trusting the studio with multiple mounts over many years, though one detailed complaint cites poor quality on an outsourced fish mount.
Feedback on service is mixed, with many customers describing Bob as friendly, helpful, and willing to answer questions, alongside serious complaints about lack of callbacks and transparency when work is outsourced.
Reviewers report a wide range of turnaround experiences, from clear 8–10 month expectations met on time and delays attributed to the pandemic, to waits of a year or more and frustration over unfinished or unreturned work, especially for some fish and European mounts.
Bob's Wildlife Taxidermy is based on Kernsville Road in Orefield, Pennsylvania, and serves hunters from the local area and around the world.
You can reach out directly to discuss your species, mounting goals, pricing, and current turnaround before bringing or shipping your trophy to the studio.
