TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Pinedale, Wyoming
High Country Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio located in Pinedale, Wyoming, run by a husband-and-wife team serving hunters with long-lasting, lifelike mounts.
They focus on creating realistic, fully tanned mounts that honor the animal and preserve hunting memories while keeping prices competitive.
Their work centers on big and small game and birds rather than fish, offering a focused, hunting-oriented taxidermy service.
They accept all large and small game and birds, but do not work on fish, covering a broad range of hunting trophies while excluding aquatic species.
Available options include full-body mounts, bird mounts, European mounts, and horn or antler plaque-style work.
High Country Taxidermy has been working for customers for about 18 years, with both owners trained at the Montana School of Taxidermy and active in competitions and taxidermy associations.
They emphasize quality, realistic, lifelike craftsmanship with professionally tanned hides and mounts designed to look natural and last for many years.
They keep pricing as low and competitive as possible but do not post specific rates; you need to call for current prices, and should expect extra costs for shipping, crating, sales tax, and credit card fees.
Current turnaround is at least 1.5 to 2 years for most work, not including European mounts and horn plaques, and they note that supply and tannery issues can add significant, unpredictable delays even as they work to finish mounts as timely as possible.
Reviewers consistently describe the taxidermy and European skull work as excellent, awesome, and top notch, and many say they highly recommend the studio.
Customers highlight Ron and Susan as super nice, great people who are helpful, accommodating, and easy to work with.
Although detailed timing is rarely mentioned, one reviewer notes they completed a rush antelope skull quickly, and overall feedback from about 14 reviews is strongly positive on quality, service, and value.
The studio is located at 3 Skyview Dr in Pinedale, Wyoming, and serves hunters in the surrounding region.
