Pricing & Turnaround
Taxidermy pricing is not listed online, and you are encouraged to contact the studio directly for current rates and options, including any available military or first responder discounts.
The business does not publish specific taxidermy turnaround times, so you should discuss expected completion and delivery when you book your project.
In addition to mounts, they offer rugs, tanning, skull and horn presentations on plaques, custom habitat or driftwood-style bases, and related services connected to their guided hunts.
What Customers Say
Reviews highlight careful trophy handling and positive expectations for bear rugs and mounts, with no complaints about realism or craftsmanship reported.
Most customers describe Randy and his team as hardworking, knowledgeable, and professional, though a small number report dissatisfaction with how their concerns were handled.
Reviewers focus on guided hunts rather than taxidermy timelines, so feedback on completion speed and long-term reliability of mounts is limited.
