            Animal Mount Details

            They work on big game, small game, birds, fish, exotics, and other hunting trophies, including pets only as clearly applicable.

            You can request shoulder mounts, full life-size displays, rugs, skull cleaning, European mounts, and custom habitat-style scenes.

            Founded in 1990, the studio has grown into a 13,000+ square foot operation with around 15 employees and over three decades of experience, led by Master Taxidermist Steve DeVaney, who has earned recognition at state and world competitions.

            They emphasize quality materials, realism, custom design, and personal attention, with values centered on loyalty, integrity, service, and customer satisfaction.


            Pricing & Turnaround

            They offer exclusive wholesale pricing for licensed taxidermists and separate retail rates for the public, with detailed prices available in their downloadable pricing guide.

            They highlight fast, reliable turnaround and suggest shipping directly from the tannery and separating rug hides to help streamline completion times, though they do not quote specific schedules.

            Beyond traditional mounts and rugs, they create custom habitat bases and specialty items such as quilts, pillows, purses, stools, and other wildlife-themed art, and provide an online customer center for existing clients.

            There is not enough review detail to accurately summarize day-to-day service or communication.

            Reviews do not provide clear information on reliability or turnaround, and some ratings may refer to unrelated businesses.
