Harvest Moon Taxidermy

The studio works on big game, small game mammals, exotics, waterfowl, upland game birds, and some pet birds, but does not accept most pets, armadillos, skunks, reptiles, or fish.

You can choose from shoulder, lifesize, half-life, pedestal, rug, and European-style skull and antler mounts, with options for basic or more intricate bases.

Their work centers on lifelike poses and realism, using client photos to design custom mounts that match your vision.

Reviews consistently highlight fantastic, detailed, and highly realistic mounts, especially for duck and other bird work.

Pricing is clearly structured by species and mount type, with published examples such as whitetail or mule deer shoulder mounts at $800, elk at $1400, bison and moose at $2200, black bear rugs at $350 per linear foot, duck mounts at $450, goose at $680, and many other listed prices and add-ons.

They require a 50% deposit at drop-off, ask for a valid hunting license, encourage you to call or email for specific quotes, and note that turnaround is discussed up front but exact times are not publicly listed.

They offer custom pedestal and base options, habitat-style and driftwood bases for birds, antler and skull boards with plaques, hide tanning at the customer’s risk, and rugs for large mammals.
