Cutchins Trail Taxidermy

They work mainly on big game and small game, with a strong emphasis on whitetail deer and related trophy work.

You can choose from shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, and dedicated tanning services, with options historically including both skin and replica fish mounts.

The studio is led by a graduate of the NorthWood Institute of Taxidermy and the Carver Center for the Arts, and is a multi-state taxidermy association member and award winner.

Reviews highlight detailed, lifelike work that often exceeds expectations, with attention to features like eyes, noses, and fine finishing touches.

They publish a season-specific pricing page for the 2025–2026 season and ask you to review that page or contact the studio directly for current rates.

Customers report fair, reasonable pricing for the level of craftsmanship and note that mounts are often finished faster than expected, including around 5–6 months for deer season work.

They offer meticulous in-house tanning with a multi-stage, hand-dried process, plus field care guidance and assistance with Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young scoring and entries.
