Dakota Plains Taxidermy

Dakota Plains Taxidermy works on big game, small game, birds, exotics, and replica fish from North America and international hunts.

They provide shoulder mounts, lifesize mounts, bird mounts, horn/antler mounts, rugs, tanned hides, and custom pedestal and habitat presentations.

The studio brings over 16 years of full-time experience and is led by an award-winning, competition-focused taxidermist.

Their work emphasizes competition-level quality, realism, and detailed, natural poses that hold up to close inspection.

They publish an extensive price list covering North American, African, Asian/S. Pacific, exotics, birds, rugs, horn mounts, hides, and options like open-mouth work, pedestals, and habitat, with a 50% deposit required and some specialty pieces priced on request.

They advise getting specimens to the studio quickly, ship completed mounts with clear cost estimates, and focus on efficient processing, with reviewers noting faster turnaround than other taxidermists.

The business also offers detailed habitat bases, rugs, tanned hides, pickup/delivery or shipping coordination, extensive specimen-care guidance, and booking for guided hunting adventures in North America, Namibia, and South Africa tied directly to their taxidermy services.
