Christensen Taxidermy

Christensen Taxidermy handles big game, small game, birds, waterfowl, and some domesticated animals.

You can choose from shoulder and game-head mounts, full-body mounts, bird mounts, tanning, restoration, and rug-style mounts, often with custom habitat bases.

Kim Christensen brings 40 years of experience as a full-time, federally and state licensed taxidermist specializing in birds and big game.

They emphasize realistic detail through careful painting, sewing, custom form work, and natural coloration, especially on birds and waterfowl.

They post a detailed seasonal price list, require a 50% deposit on all work, offer no-interest payment plans starting at $30 per month, run summer discounts, provide package deals on unclaimed work, give price matching within 200 miles plus an extra 10% off, and list example prices such as around $4,000 for a lifesize bear and $1,000 for a raccoon full mount.

Capes go to a professional tannery that typically takes about three months, so total turnaround depends on tanning time and shop workload, with at least one reviewer noting work finished ahead of schedule.

They also offer rug mounts, tanning-only services, custom rock and habitat bases, restoration and remount work, educational content on game care, and occasional sales of finished or in-progress mounts and antlers from bad-debt accounts.
