    About Jason Jenkins Taxidermy

    Jason Jenkins Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio located in Luray, Virginia that operates as a full-line taxidermy shop and tannery serving retail and wholesale clients.

    You work directly with an experienced owner who focuses on highly realistic wildlife art, customized mounts, and in-house tanning for North American game.

    Their primary focus is full-service big game taxidermy and comprehensive wet and dry fur tanning rather than volume or low-price work.

        Animal Mount Details

        They work on North American big game, including whitetail and other game animals, serving both individual hunters and wholesale tanning customers.

        They emphasize shoulder-style mounts and tanned hides, aiming for anatomically correct, natural-looking presentations.

        Owner Jason Jenkins has over 20 years of taxidermy experience and has added an in-house fur tanning operation since 2013.

        They stress anatomically accurate, long-lasting mounts, using high-quality materials and carefully studied game movements and features for realistic results.


        Pricing & Turnaround

        They post a tanning price list, charge a $5 tagging fee for untagged hides and a 3% fee on credit card payments, and encourage you to contact the studio to discuss specific project pricing, noting that they prioritize quality over being the lowest price.

        For tanning work, they notify you when items are received, require full payment before shipping completed hides, and may charge storage fees for items left more than 30 days after completion, but they do not publish a standard turnaround timeframe.

        In addition to taxidermy and fur tanning, they offer American-made blades and blade regrinding services and invite you to visit their showroom to compare mount quality.


        What Customers Say

        4.1(7 reviews)
        Summary of customer sentiment based on reviews across the web

        Reviewers who comment on workmanship describe the quality of the mounts as great to excellent, with strong praise for the finished results.

        Feedback on service is mixed, with some people speaking well of the owner personally and one reviewer reporting never receiving a hide back.

        One review reports a promised six-month timeline extending to two years without the hide being returned, while other ratings without detailed comments mostly lean positive, so reliability impressions are inconsistent based on limited reviews.
