Cro-Bar Taxidermy

Cro-Bar Taxidermy primarily works on big game and fish, with additional experience in other animals and antler restoration.

Available mount styles include shoulder mounts, European mounts, antlers on plaques, and traditional fish skin mounts, along with rack restoration.

Established in 2008, the studio is run by a taxidermist who started learning the trade young, trained with other experienced taxidermists, and continues to attend seminars to stay current on techniques and products.

They emphasize realistic, high-quality trophies that reflect a lifelong background in hunting and fishing in the Northwoods.

Cro-Bar Taxidermy posts a detailed price list and highlights competitive pricing, with recent examples including around $800 for a standard deer shoulder mount, $150 for European mounts (plaques and stands extra), $125 for antlers on plaque with velvet, and fish work available on a limited basis by call.

Reviews note fast turnaround times that are quicker than many other options, though specific timeframes are not listed.

They also offer rack restoration and damaged antler repair, guidance on proper trophy care, and help with caping and deer skinning for local hunters.
