Animal Mount Details
They work on big game, small game, birds, and fish replicas, including both North American species and international exotics.
Available mount styles include shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, dedicated bird mounts, and replica fish, with all skins professionally tanned.
HighPoint Taxidermy has served hunters since 1988 and employs a full-time crew with over 35 years of bird taxidermy experience on staff.
Each team member specializes in specific work—such as shoulder mounts, life-size mounts, birds, or finishing and fish painting—to support detailed, high-quality results.
Pricing & Turnaround
They provide a dedicated Taxidermy Rates page online and encourage you to contact the studio for current pricing on specific projects.
They typically work on an 8- to 12-month schedule, with a full-time staff and no piecework pay so mounts are not rushed, and they ask you to call ahead for up-to-date turnaround times.
They help you plan and book quality hunts worldwide and handle logistics, paperwork, and shipping to get trophies from local, cross-country, and international trips back to their studio.
