    Animal Mount Details

    The studio works on a wide range of big game and exotics, along with predators and birds, covering North American, African, Asiatic, and other international species.

    You can choose from shoulder and lifesize mounts, European and horn mounts, rugs, tanning, and custom habitat bases with wall, floor, and tabletop pedestal options.

    Owner Eric Buell has worked in the taxidermy and hunting industry since 1997, bringing over 24 years of experience to the studio.

    They emphasize custom design, varied poses, and habitat details so your mount reflects how you remember the hunt.


    Pricing & Turnaround

    Hookin' B publishes detailed, itemized price lists for taxidermy and processing, requires deposits on all work, and invites you to request pricing for items not listed.

    Taxidermy balances are due within 30 days of completion, and processed meat must be picked up within 30 days of notification, with reviews describing work as timely but without exact turnaround estimates.

    In addition to mounts, they offer wild game processing with custom sausages and jerky, rugs, tanning, custom bases and habitat, a showroom with finished mounts and merchandise, and help arranging trophy hunts through their outfitting connections.


    What Customers Say

    Summary of customer sentiment based on reviews across the web

    Reviewers frequently praise the quality and appearance of the mounts, calling the work beautiful, amazing, and outstanding, and noting an impressive showroom.

    Most customers describe the staff as friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with, including coordinating shipping for out-of-state clients, though one reviewer reports serious dissatisfaction with how an elk processing order was handled and with lack of response.

    Comments that mention timing describe both taxidermy and processing as timely and reliable, but the small number of reviews means detailed expectations on turnaround are still limited.
