Brooke's Taxidermy

They work on a wide range of big game, small game mammals, birds, and waterfowl, along with game heads, antler mounts, and European/skull mounts.

Available mount styles include shoulder mounts, full-body mounts (historically), game head mounts, bird mounts, antler mounts, European/skull mounts, and select fish replicas.

Martin opened the business in 1978 after graduating from the Rinehart School of Taxidermy and moved to the current Norborne location in 1981, with Wayne joining in 1981 and Bill in 1996, giving the studio decades of combined experience.

They emphasize quality workmanship, realism, and natural, lifelike presentation under promises such as “Quality Comes First” and “Satisfaction Guaranteed.”

They publish a detailed price list—for example, game head shoulder mounts like deer, antelope, sheep, and goats at $650, elk at $1,800, moose and open-mouth game heads at $2,000, bird mounts from about $325–$500, antler mounts from $125–$175, and European/skull mounts from $125–$175—and require a 50% deposit on all mounts.

Turnaround times vary with workload, and while some customers mention quick completion, others report long waits; the shop notes that current volume has led them to pause taking fish, turkeys, and full mounts.
