Animal Mount Details
They focus on big game and small game trophies from North American, African, and other exotic categories.
You can choose from shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, pedestal mounts with scenes, and rug work depending on how you want to display your animal.
Available information highlights an emphasis on custom design and unique presentations rather than a stated history or biography.
Pricing & Turnaround
They publish detailed price lists, with many standard shoulder mounts ranging roughly from $450 to $1,400 and specialty pieces like giraffe up to $4,500, while custom pedestals, life-size habitats, life-size mounts, and rugs are all listed as call for price and subject to change with possible additional costs, fees, and tax.
No specific turnaround times are provided, so you should contact the studio directly to discuss schedule and completion expectations.
In addition to standard mounts, they offer pedestal-and-scene displays, custom habitat bases, life-size habitat work, and rug services.
What Customers Say
Reviews are sharply mixed on quality, with some customers calling the work fantastic and extremely talented, and others describing very poor-quality mounts with visible issues.
Service feedback is also mixed, ranging from a strong warning about losing both trophy and money to a positive reviewer defending the studio and pointing to improper trophy care by hunters as a cause of problems.
Reviewers do not mention turnaround or timing, and with only a few but strongly polarized reviews, you should weigh the comments carefully and ask detailed questions before committing.
