    Animal Mount Details

    The studio works only on fish, covering cold- and warm-water species for both skin mounts and replicas.

    You can choose from traditional skin mounts or high-end replica mounts, often combined with custom habitat bases like rock or ice scenes and driftwood.

    The taxidermist has studied and refined fish-specific techniques since 2008, learning from World Champion artists and applying that knowledge to commercial work.

    They emphasize fine detail, lifelike poses, and natural habitat recreation that goes beyond typical commercial fish taxidermy.


    Pricing & Turnaround

    Pricing is primarily by the inch at about $35 per inch for skin and replica fish, with panfish replicas starting around $400–$575, a flat $850 rate for Brook Trout, custom habitat scenes priced by quote, and driftwood typically ranging from $25 to $100; a 60% non-refundable deposit secures your place in line and final payment is due before work begins.

    You can expect a current turnaround of about 16–18 months, with a 24–36 hour response time to messages and a 21-day pickup window once your mount is finished before storage fees apply.

    They offer custom rock and ice-scene habitats, driftwood options, and artistic habitat recreations for fish mounts, with limited shipping available only within Montana and bordering states.
