Javornick Taxidermy Services

They handle North American and African big game, small and medium game, birds, and fish replicas, rather than pets or domestic animals.

You can choose from front shoulder, pedestal, life-size, half-body, European skull, antler, rug and throw mounts, along with custom habitat and base work.

The studio has been in operation at least since 2018 and emphasizes both accurate trophy measuring and careful field-to-finish handling of your game.

They focus on realistic poses and custom habitat settings designed to showcase your hunt and help the memories last.

Pricing is laid out in a detailed menu by species and mount type, with a required 50% non‑refundable deposit (commonly $300–$350 online) and published examples such as $850 for a whitetail deer front shoulder, $1,500 for an elk front shoulder, fish replicas starting at $25 per inch, and African shoulder and life-size work priced individually by species; they describe their pricing as competitive and reasonable and note surcharges for extensive hide damage and custom habitat bases.

They list average turnaround times of about 10–12 months for most North American front-shoulder and medium/small game, 10–14 months for African game, around 12 months for most life-size big game, and 4–6 months for fish replicas, with finished mounts to be picked up within 30 days of notification.

Additional services include soft tanning for back skins, rugs and throws, custom habitat and rock or tree bases, commercial display work, finished mounts offered for sale if not picked up, and official Safari Club International measuring and record-book submission, plus guidance on field care, shipping, and outfitter or game-prep referrals.
