Bond Taxidermy Studio

They focus on custom taxidermy for big game, small game, and exotic animals, and they do not mount birds or fish or offer European mounts.

Available mount styles include shoulder mounts, life-size mounts, pedestal mounts, rugs, antler wall mounts, trophy room work, and custom hide displays.

Van has years of experience mounting a wide variety of animals from North America, Asia, Africa, and the South Pacific and has trained with some of the best taxidermists in the country.

Their work emphasizes realism, detailed finishes, and natural, custom poses, with reviewers praising the mounts as excellent, amazing, and professional.

They do not publish a price list and encourage you to contact the studio for a quote; most taxidermy jobs require a 30% deposit, some work may require full payment in advance, and all balances are due before pickup within 30 days of completion.

Typical taxidermy turnaround is about 12–16 months with a goal of under a year, while the tannery side stresses quicker turnaround supported by their in-house tanning and an upcoming Utah-wide pickup route starting fall 2024.

Through Bond Tannery & Fur Dressing they offer dry and wet tans, salting and fleshing, skinning with turning and splitting, custom habitat bases, and a planned statewide pickup service aimed at helping taxidermists and hunters move work quickly.
