North Star Taxidermy

The studio works on big game, small game, birds, fish, exotics, and both North American and African trophies.

They offer a variety of mount styles and custom habitat bases to match your trophy and display needs.

Owner Jeff Holmin has worked in taxidermy since age 15, spent 18 years full-time in a studio, and opened North Star Taxidermy with his wife Barb in 1999, growing it into a full-time, award-winning operation.

Their work has earned first-place awards at state and world taxidermy championships and recognition by WCCO viewers as Minnesota’s best taxidermist, with an emphasis on creativity and detailed, realistic mounts.

They publish typical pricing for common mounts and invite you to contact them for any work not listed, stating that their prices reflect the quality of their craftsmanship while aiming to deliver strong value.

Reviews mention that work can take longer during busy seasons such as the Christmas holidays, but overall timing feedback is limited.

They can create custom cabinets, bases, and habitat-style displays to complement your mounts, and they actively support local conservation and hunting organizations.
