Naturally Wild Taxidermy

They work on big game, small game mammals, birds, and both warm- and cold-water fish, as well as skulls, antlers, and rugs.

You can choose from shoulder mounts, lifesize mounts, European and antler mounts, bird and fish mounts, and custom habitat bases and pedestal options.

Matt began learning taxidermy with his stepfather, pursued formal taxidermy education, joined the Wisconsin Taxidermist Association, and has grown Naturally Wild Taxidermy from a part-time shop opened in 2015 into a full-time studio since 2021.

He focuses on detailed, realistic mounts and uses only high-quality materials and supplies to bring each trophy back to life.

Naturally Wild Taxidermy posts a detailed price list, with example prices such as around $875 for a deer shoulder mount, $3,200 for a deer lifesize mount, $150 for a deer skull mount, per-foot rates for bear rugs, and per-inch rates for warm- and cold-water fish skin mounts and replicas, plus clearly listed add-on charges for open mouths, pedestals, custom bases, and habitat.

Prices vary by species and size and are subject to change, so you should review their current price list and call the studio for quotes on items not listed; reviews do not provide clear information about turnaround times.

The studio also offers skulls, tanning, and flat rugs on all species, along with custom habitat, bases, and other extreme customizations.
