Nature Inspired Taxidermy & Fish Artistry

The shop handles big game, small game, birds, and both skin and reproduction fish work, plus European skull and antler plaque projects, but does not accept pets for traditional taxidermy.

You can choose from shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, European skull mounts, antler plaques, rugs, skin and replica fish mounts, bird mounts, and game heads, with custom habitats available.

Brian is a graduate of the Western Pennsylvania School of Taxidermy and actively pursues seminars, hands-on classes, and competitions each year to refine his skills.

His work emphasizes realism, fine detail, and natural, creative presentations, including repairs and refreshes of older or unsatisfactory mounts.

Nature Inspired Taxidermy & Fish Artistry posts a detailed, itemized price list with transparent rates—for example, whitetail shoulder mounts from about $600–$700, European skulls around $125, black bear shoulder mounts around $900, many life-size big game pieces priced by the foot, and fish priced per inch depending on skin or reproduction work.

A 50% deposit is due at drop-off with the balance at pickup, normal hours run Monday–Friday 10:00 am–4:00 pm with after-hours calls encouraged during hunting season, and reviews mention quick completion on some projects, though no standard turnaround time is guaranteed.

All full-body mounts, birds, and fish include a driftwood base or standard stone replica habitat, with upgraded bases and diorama-style habitats quoted separately; the shop also offers bear rugging, restoration and remount work, freeze-dried wild turkey heads, help arranging pet memorial freeze-dry services, and a newsletter and Facebook updates featuring project photos and specials.
