Mountain Man Taxidermy

They work on big game, small game, birds, fish, and international trophies, including North American, African, and South Pacific species.

You can choose from European mounts, shoulder mounts, life-size mounts, skull cleaning, restoration, remounts, and custom metal-coated skull finishes.

The team brings nearly 50 years in the taxidermy business, with lead taxidermist Scott Moore competing for more than a decade at state, regional, and national levels.

They emphasize competition-level craftsmanship, detail, and natural, statement-piece designs tailored to each trophy.

Pricing varies by species and service, with Metal Max SkullWorks skull coatings priced by species, and they require 50% down when you bring in a mount and the remaining 50% at completion; they accept cash, local checks, and all major credit cards, and shipping costs are extra.

Typical turnaround is about 18 months for most mounts with a goal to finish sooner when possible, while European mounts have a quicker turnaround, and they state they will not sacrifice quality for speed and will advise you if longer times are expected.

They offer collaborative design for non-traditional statement mounts, provide guidance and tagging packets for importing international trophies, give instructions for skinning, freezing, shipping, and mount care, maintain a showroom, sell mount care cleaning kits and Skull Hooker hardware, and have finished mounts available for sale.
