Mounted Memories Taxidermy

The studio works on big game, small game, birds, and fish, covering both shoulder and life-size mounts as well as plaque-style pieces.

You can choose from shoulder and game head mounts, full-body life-size mounts, bird and waterfowl poses, European and plaque mounts, and both skin and reproduction fish work.

Anthony brings over 23 years of taxidermy experience, a background in graphic design and park and recreation, and training under nationally and internationally recognized master taxidermists.

He emphasizes professional in-house tanning with his own pressure tanning machine, attention to wildlife art, and detailed, realistic mounts supported by competition-level training and guild membership.

Mounted Memories Taxidermy publishes detailed price lists for game heads, life-size mounts, birds, fish, and plaque mounts, with example prices such as $600 for a whitetail shoulder mount, $20–$26 per inch for most fish, and clearly listed add-ons for name plates, open-mouth mounts, and extra sewing; they require nonrefundable deposits of 25% on most mounts and 50% on birds and waterfowl.

Average completion time runs about 8–12 months depending on species and mount type, with fish typically around 12 months, and in-house tanning helps speed the process, though finished mounts left more than 30 days after completion are considered abandoned.

The studio offers custom bases and scene work such as driftwood habitat, European and plaque mounts, open-mouth options, name plates, professional tanning, and occasionally finished mounts for sale.
