Mirabile Taxidermy

Mirabile Taxidermy handles a wide range of trophies, including big game, small game, birds, fish, African game, exotics, and small mammals.

They offer shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, bird mounts, reproduction fish, and custom habitat bases.

Owner Tom Mirabile has over 30 years of experience, starting his training at age 15 through the JW Elwood Northwestern School of Taxidermy and continuing with several world‑champion taxidermists across the country.

His mounts emphasize realism, natural-looking habitats, and poses informed by his own hunting experience and worldwide trophies he has worked on.

Standard mount pricing is not listed, and you are encouraged to contact the studio directly, but week-long beginner taxidermy courses range from $3,300 to $4,300 with a $300 non‑refundable deposit, payable by cash or major credit card.

No specific turnaround times for taxidermy work are provided, while taxidermy courses run 40 hours over one week and are offered June through August with limited spaces that require advance registration.

The studio creates realistic custom habitat bases, offers commercial and nature-center display work, provides detailed field-care and shipping guidance, and runs in-person and Zoom-based beginner taxidermy courses that include a finished specimen.
