McDowell's Taxidermy

McDowell's Taxidermy works on big game, small game, and exotics, with an emphasis on deer, other hoofed game, and predators.

You can choose from shoulder, life-size, European, and horn mounts, with options for pedestal presentations and custom bases.

Owner and taxidermist Grant McDowell has worked in taxidermy since 1991, turning a long-time hobby and interest in wildlife and hunting into a full-time business.

Reviews highlight next-level craftsmanship, realistic detail, and convincing repair work, such as fabricated antler tines that look natural.

The studio publishes a detailed price list, with most standard shoulder mounts in the $800–$900 range, larger big game from about $1,600 to $2,800, life-size small to medium game generally $300 to $1,600, and European and horn mounts for deer at about $200, with itemized charges for extras like panels, antler work, custom bases, and pedestal mounts; deposits are required and prices include state tax but may change without notice.

While specific turnaround times are not listed, completed mounts must be picked up within 14 days or storage fees apply, and work is considered abandoned and may be resold or disposed of after 90 days.

Additional services include panels, antler velvet treatment, antler and sewing repair, custom bases, pedestal mounts, and other custom mount options.
