Lifetime Wildlife Studio

They handle a wide range of big game, small game, birds, fish, and international trophies from North America, Africa, and Asia.

Available mount styles include shoulder and pedestal pieces, European wall mounts, life-size mounts with detailed habitat, bird mounts, fish skin mounts, fish reproductions, and rugs.

Dave has been practicing taxidermy for over 15 years and holds certification from the International Academy of Wildlife Art, supported by a formal business education.

The studio emphasizes superior craftsmanship, meticulous detail, and the use of a private synthetic tannery and top-tier materials to produce realistic, long-lasting, showroom-quality mounts.

They publish detailed price lists, with example prices such as about $1,000 for a North American deer shoulder mount, $1,700 for an elk shoulder mount, $48–$78 per inch for most fish work, and per-inch pricing for rugs and many life-size pieces, and note that listed prices are guides that can change.

The studio agrees on delivery timelines in advance, limits the number of projects it accepts so each trophy gets full attention, and reviews specifically praise their excellent turnaround times.

They also offer custom habitat bases and scenery, detachable antlers and velvet antler work, detailed field care guides, and support for domestic, Alaska, and international trophy shipping through Coppersmith Global Logistics.
