TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Sterling, Massachusetts
Lone Fox Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio located in Sterling, Massachusetts, owned and operated by wildlife artist Nicole Baldelli.
The studio focuses on artistic, lifelike wildlife mounts with an emphasis on fine detail and individualized customer service.
They position the studio as an award-winning wildlife art shop rather than a high-volume production operation, treating each trophy as if it were their own.
Lone Fox Taxidermy primarily works on small game and furbearers, with additional experience across big game mammals, birds, and other game animals depending on current booking status.
Available work includes shoulder and gamehead mounts, full-body mammals, bird mounts, rugs, skull work, and select novelty pieces.
Nicole has practiced taxidermy for over five years, building on a lifelong art background and formal training under multiple master taxidermists.
Her work emphasizes realistic anatomy, natural poses, and detailed finishing that aim to restore how the animal looked on the day it was harvested.
They ask you to review the pricing information on their website and to contact the studio directly for current rates and booking status, especially for small game and furbearers.
The studio typically replies to calls and emails within 24–48 hours and books pickup and drop-off by appointment during office hours, with after-hours options available by prior arrangement.
In addition to traditional mounts, Lone Fox Taxidermy offers rugs, skull work, and various novelty or artistic pieces, but does not provide European mounts, tanning services, or any pet taxidermy.
Reviews consistently describe the mounts as beautiful, realistic, and professionally finished, with several customers calling Nicole a true artist.
Customers highlight friendly, patient service, clear communication, and personalized attention, including in small taxidermy classes.
Reviewers mention fair, competitive pricing and reasonable time frames, and they strongly recommend the studio, though detailed turnaround times are rarely discussed.
Lone Fox Taxidermy operates at 5 Newell Hill Road in Sterling, Massachusetts, serving hunters and wildlife enthusiasts throughout the surrounding New England area.
You can check current booking availability and pricing on their website, then call or email to discuss your project and schedule an appointment for drop-off or pickup.
