J2 taxidermy

They work on North American big game, exotics, predators and small game, birds, fish (as reproduction mounts), and furs.

You can choose from skull cleaning and European-style work, shoulder mounts, life-size mounts, rugs, flat hides, and bird and fish mounts.

Reviews highlight years of repeat business, with many customers returning for multiple trophies and calling J2 one of the best taxidermists in the region.

Customers consistently praise the clean, evenly whitened skulls and lifelike mounts, noting attention to detail and quality workmanship across species.

They publish detailed pricing for most services—for example, deer skull cleaning around $175, elk skulls around $250, deer shoulder mounts around $900, elk shoulders around $1,800, rugs starting around $1,200, and fish reproductions at $32 per linear inch—with a minimum 50% deposit (100% for certain small-antler deer and elk).

Turnaround times are estimated and not guaranteed, but reviews frequently mention fast, reliable completion and some of the quickest skull work in the area, with required pickup within 14 days of completion to avoid storage fees.

They also offer warranties on skulls, shoulder and life-size mounts, and rugs, tanning for flat hides and furs, assistance with shipping logistics, and promotions such as a New Zealand red stag hunt giveaway, and they may sell finished mounts if unclaimed.
