J&I Taxidermy

They primarily work on big game and small game, with options for shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, European mounts, antler mounts, and custom habitat work.

Available mount styles include traditional shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, 3-D wall mounts, European skull mounts with or without plaques, and antler plaques.

Shane and Bridget Shockley founded the studio in 2004, and their son Grant joined the team in 2016, giving the family many years of hands-on taxidermy experience.

They emphasize patience, skill, and realistic, detailed work, and use Dermestid beetles for exceptionally clean European skull mounts that are then bleached for a white finish.

They publish detailed pricing, including example rates such as $750 for a whitetail deer shoulder mount, $800 for mule deer, $850 for antelope, $1,450 for elk, $1,100 plus base for a full-bodied bobcat, and $140–$220 for European mounts, require a 50% deposit before scheduling, and note extra charges for habitat, repairs, and mounts not picked up promptly.

They contact you when your mount is complete and ask that you pick it up within 30 days, and reviewers describe their work as timely and completed on schedule.

They offer custom habitat bases, antler repairs, detailed caping instructions with phone support, and skull cleaning with Dermestid beetles, along with an online photo gallery and Facebook presence to showcase finished mounts.
