Cow Creek Taxidermy & Game Processing

They work on a wide range of big game, small game, birds, fish, exotics, African and Asian game, wild game, and livestock.

Available mount styles include shoulder, full-body, European, horn-on-panel and antler mounts, bird and fish mounts, plus custom habitats, rugs, tanned hides, and novelty décor items.

Owner Richard A. Schmidt has trained in taxidermy since 1993, and the business notes over 15 years in operation with more than 7,000 successful mounts and about 800 animals processed annually.

They describe their work as award-winning and integrity-driven, emphasizing time-honored techniques, attention to detail, and custom design options guided by client reference photos and requests.

They publish detailed price lists for taxidermy and processing, with many services listed as starting prices that vary by species, pose, size, and custom options, and they encourage you to contact them for specialty or price-on-request work.

Turnaround times are not fixed, but they process game year-round, offer 24/7 after-hours drop-off, and require payment within 10 days of completion notice under a defined storage policy.

In addition to mounts, they offer rugs, tanned hides, custom panels and habitats, rustic hide décor such as pillows and purses, novelty items, smoked sausages and specialty meats, a taxidermy showroom, and Cow Creek-branded merchandise.
