JR's Taxidermy

JR's Taxidermy primarily works on big game and small game mammals, offering shoulder mounts, skull work, life-size pieces, tanning, rugs, and related services.

You can choose from shoulder mounts, European-style skull mounts, life-size and half mounts, rugs, and mounts with custom bases and basic habitat.

JR began learning taxidermy at 15, trained through Northwest School of Taxidermy courses, and built years of experience mounting animals for family and friends before opening the business full time.

He treats taxidermy as his dream full-time job and focuses on detailed, trophy-style work for serious hunters.

The studio posts detailed, itemized pricing, with shoulder mounts roughly $500–$3,000, skull cleaning, tanning, econo rugs, life-size mounts, antler repair, velvet work, skinning, quartering, cooler rental, cape purchases, and pickups/delivery all priced by species and complexity.

Standard turnaround is not listed, but limited rush orders with a 6–8 month completion window are available for an added fee, and the shop extends hours and offers 24-hour on-call drop-off, skinning, and cooler rental during season.

Additional services include antler repair and velvet work, custom rocks and bases, repairs and remounts, habitat bases, pickup and delivery, walk-in cooler use, skinning and quartering, buying capes, and running statewide elk and deer contests plus branded apparel sales.
