Bring 'em Back Alive

The studio works on big game, small game, birds, fish (both skin and replica work), and exotics.

They offer a range of mount styles including shoulder mounts, lifesize mounts, antler and European mounts, and both skin and fiberglass reproduction fish mounts, with various bird and turkey poses available.

Troy has practiced taxidermy for about 26 years and has operated full time for 8 years, building on experience mounting animals for himself, family, friends, and co-workers.

He emphasizes careful craftsmanship, realistic detail, and problem-solving on issues like misplaced shots or exit holes, drawing on his background in painting and woodworking to enhance finished mounts and custom bases.

Bring 'em Back Alive posts a detailed, itemized price list, requires a 50% deposit at drop-off, and lists example prices such as shoulder mounts for many big game species, lifesize mounts, European and antler mounts, fish charged per linear inch for skin or fiberglass reproductions, and a full menu of bird and turkey poses.

Reviews describe quick and reliable turnaround, with customers noting that Troy met or adjusted timelines when needed, including completing mounts before planned moves.

The studio includes a well-equipped wood shop for creating custom bases and display solutions tailored to your home, and offers detailed field care instructions to help you prepare trophies for the best results.
