KV Custom Taxidermy

They handle a broad range of big game, small game, birds, and fish, as well as African and exotic species, but do not accept pets.

You can choose from shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, European skull mounts, antler mounts, bird and fish mounts, and both skin and reproduction fish work.

Owner Kevin Vanaman has practiced taxidermy since at least 2008 after completing an intensive 8‑month hands-on program at the Pennsylvania Institute of Taxidermy, where he mounted over 22 pieces across multiple categories.

He emphasizes high-quality materials, up-to-date techniques, and attention to detail so each mount looks lifelike and matches how you want it displayed.

They publish a detailed 2025 price list, with examples such as whitetail buck shoulder mounts at $825, antelope gameheads at $800, lifesize bobcats at $950, ducks at $425, and coldwater fish at $30 per inch, and they price African and exotic lifesize and gameheads by call or email.

All work requires a 50% deposit (100% for migratory birds), prices exclude tax, basic prices cover standard mounts, and options like open mouths, pedestals, panels, custom poses, and habitat scenes cost extra, while specific turnaround times are not listed so you should ask when booking.

They offer custom habitat bases, scenes, pedestals, panels, and driftwood-style displays, as well as fish repaint and reproduction services.
