Knight's Taxidermy

Knight's Taxidermy works on North American big game, small game, birds, fish, and select pets and exotics.

They offer shoulder mounts, full-body mounts for certain species, European skull mounts, bird mounts, skin-mount and replica fish, and remounts.

Tim Knight is described as a leading provider of taxidermy services in eastern North Carolina, combining lifelike animal artistry with hands-on, customer-focused support.

Their work highlights realism, natural poses, and detailed preservation, backed by state and federal licenses and membership in the National Taxidermy Association.

Knight's Taxidermy posts clear, per-species pricing, with examples such as $600 for a whitetail deer shoulder mount, $700 for antelope, mule deer, or black bear shoulder mounts (with an added fee for open-mouth bears), $650 for wild boar, $350 for a squirrel, $300–$900 for various bird mounts, and fish skin mounts at $16 per inch with a $180 minimum, while replica fish, European skulls, full-body bears, repairs, and other services are quoted individually.

Full-body mounts typically take about 8–12 months, European skull mounts tend to finish more quickly, and overall turnaround depends on the mount type and level of detail, so you are encouraged to contact the shop for specific timelines.

The studio also offers field-care guidance, in-the-field skinning assistance for a fee, mount repairs, finished mounts for display, and educational resources on trophy care and long-term maintenance.
