High Uintahs Taxidermy Inc.

They work primarily on big game from around the world, including North American, African, Asian, European, and New Zealand species, with additional capability for rugs and custom habitat displays.

You can choose from shoulder and pedestal mounts, full-body life-size mounts, game head mounts, and rugs, often paired with custom-designed habitat bases.

In business since 1993, the studio is led by owner and lead taxidermist Dean Schulte, a Utah State Certified Master Taxidermist, NTA “Award of Excellence” recipient, and National Taxidermist Association Certified Judge, supported by an experienced full-time team of taxidermists and technicians.

They emphasize custom conceptual design, engineering, and composition for each piece, aiming for high detail, realistic presentation, and consistent quality control across all work.

They publish a detailed price list by species and mount type, with example prices such as around $1,300 for a deer head mount, $2,300 for an elk head mount, and life-size work ranging from roughly $5,500 for antelope to $38,000 for a giraffe, and they generally require a 35% deposit before work begins.

Posted turnaround times are about 10–12 months from deposit for shoulder, pedestal, and life-size mounts, with expedite fees available for some species and clear payment and pickup deadlines once your mount is completed.

They offer custom habitat bases included with life-size pricing, pedestal designs with tailored hardware and welding, rugs, a USDA-approved facility for international trophy imports, and their own transportation for shipping large orders of finished mounts.
