Northern Redneck Taxidermy works on big game, small game, birds, and fish, offering a full-service approach across major hunting and fishing categories.

Available mount styles include shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, European and antler mounts, and bird and fish mounts with optional custom habitats.

Owner James Dirkes has more than 23 years of taxidermy experience, completed taxidermy school in 2007, and has worked professionally ever since.

He focuses on realistic anatomy, natural poses, and detailed habitats, using his time hunting and fishing to guide mount design and positioning.

Pricing is clearly published, with example rates such as $850 for deer shoulder mounts, $825 for antelope, $1,225 for elk, $450–$975 for small game full-body mounts, $300–$425 for most bird mounts, and species-based fish pricing including muskie at $18.00 per inch and flat rates like $500 for northern and $450 for walleye, plus $15–$25 for driftwood habitats depending on size.

The studio emphasizes quality mounts that "won’t break the bank" and invites you to call for customized work or species listed as price by quote.

Northern Redneck Taxidermy also offers custom habitat bases, including driftwood and specialty habitat options, along with items like bird tail plaques and other custom display pieces.
