Brian Mower Taxidermy

Brian Mower Taxidermy primarily works on big game and other mammals, with additional options for small game and a limited selection of birds.

You can choose from shoulder mounts, life-size and half-body mounts, wall pedestal and pack mounts, gameheads, and select bird mounts, often paired with custom bases or simple habitat scenes.

Brian has been tanning skins and mounting trophies since 1999 and runs a long-established, full-time studio where he completes all work himself.

Reviews consistently highlight lifelike detail, natural poses, and careful finishing that restore or preserve trophies to a high standard.

Pricing is clearly published by species and mount type, with most big game shoulder mounts in the mid-to-upper hundreds or low thousands (for example, a whitetail shoulder mount is listed at $900), plus a 25% deposit and cash payment at pickup, and you are encouraged to call for quotes on larger or more custom projects.

Typical turnaround is about 3–6 months from drop-off, and customers frequently note that he meets or beats his quoted timelines thanks to in-house tanning and a limited number of gameheads accepted each year.

The studio offers custom bases and backdrops, novelties such as antler gun racks, basic skull skin-out for transfer or storage, and detailed field-care and freezing guidance, with all work guaranteed and kept on-site.
