Hunter's Choice Taxidermy LLC

They work on a broad mix of big game, small game, birds, and rugs, including high-end trophies and specialty pieces.

Available mount styles include full-body, half-size, shoulder and European mounts, along with bird mounts, rugs, soft tans, and custom habitat bases and pedestals tailored to your vision.

Customer reviews describe RJ and his team as skilled, competition-caliber taxidermists who handle a wide variety of species with confidence.

Reviewers consistently praise their award-winning realism, lifelike poses, and precise facial detail, noting that mounts often look as good as or better than the animal in the field.

They publish detailed pricing, including example rates such as $200 per linear foot for soft tans on bear, wolf, and mountain lion, $2,300–$2,500 for many bear and predator rugs, $1,500 for a turkey full mount, $1,500 for a black bear backpack mount, and clear add-on fees for options like wall pedestals, open mouths, hide replacement, wood bases, habitat, crating, and shipping, with a 50% non‑refundable deposit required on all work and a $500 minimum deposit for soft tans.

Turnaround times are not fixed, but reviewers frequently mention fair or faster-than-expected completion, with some mounts finished within weeks, and the shop requires completed work to be paid for and picked up within 30 days of notification before daily storage fees apply.

They also offer soft tanning, rugs, custom wood bases, pedestals, rock and habitat scenes, repairs, Iron Mountain skull hangers, and can crate and ship finished work for out-of-area clients.
