Animal Mount Details
Gray Taxidermy works exclusively on fish, including saltwater and freshwater species, sharks, and exotic fish, using replica-style fiberglass mounts.
They offer wall mounts, full-body and 360° mounts, action scenes with baitfish, and partial jaw, tail, and bill mounts, often paired with custom bases, wave effects, and plaques.
With over 50 years in business and more than 500,000–600,000 handcrafted fish mounts produced, Gray Taxidermy highlights its long-running, high-volume marine focus and extensive library of over 10,000 models.
They emphasize professional artists, detailed paint work, lifelike color accuracy, and thorough inspection of each mount before it leaves the facility, aiming for 100% customer satisfaction.
Pricing & Turnaround
Gray Taxidermy uses quote-based, highly customized pricing and asks you to call for details, as final cost depends on species, size, pose, base, plaques, and scene options.
Reviews report very mixed experiences with turnaround, ranging from mounts completed well ahead of quoted timelines to orders taking close to or over a year with limited status updates.
They also create tournament trophies, commercial and restaurant displays, personalized plaques and wood panels, custom habitat scenes, catch-and-release certificates, and ship insured mounts worldwide in specialized crates or heavy-duty boxes.
What Customers Say
Reviewers are sharply divided on quality: many describe the mounts as stunning, lifelike, museum-quality replicas that closely match their fish and hold up for years, while others say their pieces look generic, unfinished, or unlike the original catch.
Service feedback is mixed, with some customers praising responsive, helpful representatives and informative facility tours, and others reporting poor communication, high-pressure sales, and difficulty resolving issues or refunds.
Pricing and fees draw frequent complaints about surprise charges, high shipping and crating costs, and non-refundable deposits, so many reviewers urge you to read the contract carefully and confirm all costs before paying.
