Pricing & Turnaround
Pricing is project-based and described as fair for the level of craftsmanship, with 10% off full-body mounts and a strong recommendation to call the studio to discuss exact costs and options.
They advertise an average turnaround time of about one year or less for most mounts, with national shipping and occasional extra time for very large animals depending on workload.
The studio offers custom wood, rock, and foliage habitats, bear rugs, commercial and museum displays, finished mounts for sale, national and international shipping coordination, and works as a Pennsylvania Game Commission CWD cooperator taxidermist.
What Customers Say
Reviewers consistently praise the mounts as outstanding, realistic, and highly detailed, often calling them some of the best work they have seen, especially for bears and deer.
Customers describe the team as friendly, respectful, and accommodating, noting good communication, clear cost discussions in many cases, and strong willingness to customize mounts to match how the animal looked in the field.
Most reviewers feel they receive excellent value and quick or reasonable turnaround, though a single coyote rug customer reports feeling overcharged, making overall price sentiment positive but mixed on that specific issue.
