TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Laramie, Wyoming
Monteith Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio located in Laramie, Wyoming, founded and run by wildlife scientist and taxidermist Kevin Monteith.
The family-run shop serves discriminating sportsmen with anatomically accurate, high-end mounts grounded in conservation-minded, Christian values.
They primarily focus on game heads, pedestal pieces, and life-size mammals supported by in-house tanning and related skull and antler services.
Monteith Taxidermy works on big game, small game, birds, fish, and other mammals, including both North American and select exotic species.
You can choose from shoulder mounts, wall and free-standing pedestals, life-size and half life-size pieces, European skulls, and rug and custom habitat-style presentations.
Established in 1999, Monteith Taxidermy combines decades of taxidermy practice with Kevin Monteith’s professional background in wildlife research and anatomy on big game.
They emphasize anatomical accuracy, artistic realism, and natural poses, limiting annual volume so each mount receives detailed, high-quality work.
Monteith Taxidermy shares a detailed 2024 price sheet and notes that final cost depends on pose and design, encouraging you to contact them directly for exact pricing.
They maintain a quality-focused, roughly one-year turnaround and intentionally restrict the number of specimens they accept to avoid backlogs.
In addition to mounts, they offer wholesale tanning, European skull work, antler and horn reproductions, velvet preservation, tine repair, custom bases and dioramas, and guidance on field care and caping.
Reviewers describe the workmanship as excellent, top-notch craftsmanship, and note that even beat-up trophies and antelope mounts turned out very well.
Customers highlight polite, family-oriented service, easy communication including by text, and Kevin’s generosity with his time in the hunting community.
Feedback on turnaround mentions mounts being ready when promised, though a single reviewer felt pricing was high amid otherwise positive reviews.
Monteith Taxidermy operates out of Laramie, Wyoming, and also receives specimens in Watertown and Rapid City, South Dakota, serving hunters from Wyoming and beyond.
