Brad Kussman Taxidermy

The studio works on big game, small game, birds, and fish, including replica fish and antler-only projects.

You can choose from a wide range of mount styles, including traditional game heads, life-size and half-life-size mounts, European mounts, antler mounts and replications, wall and free-standing pedestals, birds in flight, scenic decor, engraved plaques, and full fish reproductions.

Owner Brad Kussman has about 20 years of experience in the shop and in the outdoors, starting taxidermy as a hobby after growing up hunting with his father and continually advancing his skills through schooling, memberships, seminars, and competitions.

The studio emphasizes realism through careful observation of each animal’s unique characteristics and a strong focus on natural poses and detail.

Pricing is handled case by case with free consultations, and one reviewer notes the prices as very reasonable; completed work must be paid in full within 30 days or a storage fee of $1.00 per day applies.

Exact turnaround times are not listed, but you will be notified when your mount is complete and are encouraged to call or email promptly after a successful hunt or catch to discuss your project and field care.

Additional services include beetle skull cleaning, scenic decor and habitat-style displays, antler replication through an outside provider, engraved plaques, and education on field care and mount care.
