Mill Creek Valley Taxidermy

The studio primarily works on big game and other horned or antlered animals, plus some small game and furbearers, with only limited bird work for turkey fans and panels.

You can choose from traditional shoulder mounts, European skull mounts, hide tanning, and turkey tail fan panel displays.

Reviews describe the taxidermist as a highly detailed wildlife artist with a strong reputation for deer work and repeat customers who return season after season.

Customers consistently highlight lifelike mounts, artistic presentation, and careful attention to details around the eyes and mouth.

They publish a detailed 2025/2026 price list, with examples such as white-tail buck shoulder mounts starting at $750, mule deer starting at $850, bull elk and caribou starting at $2,000, moose at $2,400, bison at $2,600, antelope at $800, turkey tail fan panels starting at $225, European deer skulls at $250, and hide tanning for deer at $250; most prices are listed as “starting at” and a 50% nonrefundable deposit with a signed contract is required at drop-off.
