Animal Mount Details
They handle big game, small game, birds, freshwater fish replicas, exotics, and African animals, including life-size work and rugs.
Available mount styles include game heads and shoulder mounts, life-size mounts, European mounts, rugs, soft-tanned hides, and custom wall or habitat displays.
Jason draws on extensive personal hunting experience and many hours observing wildlife behavior to guide the detail and accuracy in each mount.
Their work emphasizes lifelike anatomy, natural poses, and personalized designs tailored to your trophy and display goals.
Pricing & Turnaround
They publish a detailed price list, with example rates such as around $425 for standard big game shoulder mounts, $1,000–$2,000 for larger game heads, per-inch pricing for freshwater fish reproductions, project-based pricing for African and exotic animals, and required deposits starting at $100 for most mounts and at least $150 for life-size work.
They encourage you to contact the studio for project-specific quotes, and while they highlight responsive communication and shipping options, they do not list exact completion timelines.
They offer custom habitat bases and wall habitats, soft-tanned hides, rugs, assistance with shipping trophies to and from the studio, and budget-conscious guided group hunting trips with trusted outfitters.
What Customers Say
Reviewers consistently describe the mounts as extremely lifelike and top-notch, with some noting impressive restoration of damaged pieces and multiple high-quality deer mounts.
Most customers highlight great customer service and say they would recommend the shop, though one reviewer reports poor communication and no callbacks on a fish project.
Reviews provide limited detail on turnaround times, but they do underscore strong repeat business and one serious concern about follow-up on a single fish mount.
