Animal Mount Details

The studio primarily handles big game and a broad range of birds, with a particular focus on whitetail deer and waterfowl along with other game birds.

Available mount styles include shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, and bird mounts.

Jim began taxidermy as a hobby around 1992 and has operated a commercial studio since 2005, with his daughter Jenel joining part-time in 2013 after specialist waterfowl training with a two-time champion.

Their work has been featured on The Rush TV with Jason Allen and influenced by award-winning taxidermists, and reviewers often highlight the beautiful, realistic results.

Pricing & Turnaround

They do not publish prices and encourage you to call Jim or Jenel directly with pricing questions, with reviewers describing the cost as reasonable and good value.

Reviews report very mixed turnaround times, ranging from very quick completion on some pieces to multi-year delays with unresolved work and poor follow-up.
