CK Taxidermy & Replicas

The studio works on big game, small game, birds, fish (skin mounts and replicas), rugs, European-style skull work, and African/exotic trophies.

You can choose from shoulder mounts, life-size mounts, bird mounts, rugs, European skull and horn panel work, antler displays, and custom habitat bases and cases.

Clifford has practiced taxidermy since 1999 and has been a licensed taxidermist since 2002, continually seeking new and better ways to refine his craft, supported in the shop by his wife Lori.

The studio emphasizes realism, quality materials, and careful field-prep guidance so your finished mount looks natural and lifelike.

CK Taxidermy & Replicas posts a detailed price list, with a $70-per-hour shop rate plus materials, example prices such as around $900 for many standard shoulder mounts, per-inch pricing for fish work, and project-based estimates for habitat, shipping, and specialty pieces.

Prices are estimates under ideal specimen conditions, require a non-refundable minimum deposit of $100 or the upfront cost at drop-off plus an additional deposit about 30 days before mounting, and are subject to change, while overall turnaround times are not guaranteed and at least one reviewer reports multi-year delays and missed promised deadlines.

They also create custom habitat bases and driftwood displays, glass display cases, rugs, horn and antler panels, deer foot gun racks, and trophy plates, and offer preparation tips to help you care for trophies before mounting.
