Pricing & Turnaround
Specific taxidermy prices are not listed, and the shop encourages you to call or stop in to discuss mounting your trophy.
Most reviews do not mention timing, but one customer reports an extremely long wait for a coyote mount, so you should confirm current turnaround expectations directly with the shop.
In addition to taxidermy, the business sells hunting-style firearms, ammunition, and archery products, offers licensed gunsmithing services, and stocks hard-to-find hunting gear such as Wicked Lights and other specialty items.
What Customers Say
Reviewers consistently praise the quality of the mounts, noting great work, strong workmanship, and confidence in Ken’s talent.
Customers describe Ken as knowledgeable about archery and firearms and say the shop feels friendly, welcoming, and easy to visit.
While overall sentiment is positive, at least one reviewer reports a serious delay on a mount, so reliability and turnaround appear generally good but not uniform across all experiences.
