Four Season Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio located in Courtland, Minnesota, serving hunters with bird, big game, fish, and African work in a full-service setting.
The studio operates as a family-oriented, purpose-built shop on Highway 14 with an extensive showroom that highlights both technical realism and creative, eye-catching displays.
You can walk through displays that include a complete North American waterfowl collection, multiple life-size big game pieces, and African mounts to see examples before you commit your own trophy.

Available mount styles include shoulder and game head mounts, full-body mounts, and dedicated bird mounts, allowing you to choose from classic presentations to more elaborate displays.
Owner and wildlife artist Pat Mehlhop has been in the taxidermy business since 1989, bringing over 25 years of full-time experience and a lifelong hunting background to each piece.
