Foster Taxidermy

They work on big game, small game, birds, fish, exotics, and European skulls, but do not accept pets or domestic animals.

Available mount styles include shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, European mounts, antler-only mounts, bird mounts, and skull cleaning, with habitat-style bases offered for birds.

The taxidermists highlight their own hunting and field experience as the foundation for producing realistic, life-like poses and mounts.

Their published field care and skinning instructions show a focus on preservation quality and proper trophy handling before mounting.

They publish an itemized price list, for example game heads such as whitetail deer at $700, pronghorn at $750, elk at $1,550–$1,650, moose at $4,000, small game from $600–$2,500, birds like ducks and pheasants at $425–$450, geese at $550–$575, turkeys at $1,250–$1,450, pedestal mount add-ons at $100, and detailed skull cleaning and antlers-on-panel options.

A 50% deposit is required at drop-off, the remaining balance is due when it is your mount’s turn before work begins, and mounts left more than 90 days without arrangements may be sold; the studio notifies you when your project is ready to move into the mounting phase but does not list exact turnaround times.

They offer skull cleaning and bleaching, European mounts, antlers and horns on panels, and bird mounts that include driftwood or plain artificial bases, along with detailed field care guides and a strong emphasis on compliance with game and federal regulations.
