Northwoods Taxidermy and Outfitters

They work on big game, small game, bears, birds, fish, African species, and taxidermy décor pieces.

Available mount styles include shoulder, half-body, full-body, life-size, European skull, antler plaques, bird and fish mounts, rugs, soft tans, and custom habitat presentations.

Owner Nolan Skuse graduated from The Academy of Wildlife Arts in 2006 and has over 15 years of hands-on experience operating Northwoods Taxidermy and Outfitters.

They emphasize competition-quality work with extreme muscle definition, modern techniques, custom design, and guaranteed taxidermy with free maintenance on their mounts.

Northwoods publishes detailed, itemized pricing for nearly all services, requires at least a 50% deposit (cash or check), and notes that prices may change without notice, so you should review their current price list and confirm costs directly.

They state a typical taxidermy turnaround of around one year with longer times for unusual or highly custom pieces, and currently note that due to high demand they are temporarily not taking new taxidermy projects.

Additional offerings include soft tans, rugs, custom habitat bases, taxidermy décor items, custom alterations, payment plans, free maintenance on their work, and guided hunting and fishing trips with lodging, meals, stands, bait sites, and trail camera coverage.
