Norton's Taxidermy Studio

They work on big game, small game, birds, and fish, covering a broad range of hunting trophies.

Available mount styles include shoulder, life-size, European, rugs, fish skin mounts, reproductions, and custom habitat presentations, along with specialty deer display options.

Operating since 1979, Norton's Taxidermy Studio has earned numerous state, regional, and world competition awards, including Best of Show, People’s Choice, Best of Category, the Presidential Award, and Best All Around Taxidermist honors.

They emphasize detailed, competition-level craftsmanship and realistic presentation, with a stated goal of 100% customer satisfaction and lifetime-quality trophies.

They publish a comprehensive, itemized price list, with example pricing such as Whitetail Deer shoulder mounts at $550, life-size deer at $3,600, small game life-size mounts starting around $250, bird mounts generally $250–$550, fish priced per inch (from $16 per inch for freshwater), and rugs and tanned hides priced separately; a 20% deposit is required and debit/credit payments incur a 3% fee.

Standard turnaround can be shortened by paying for expedited options, including a 90-day turnaround for an additional $200 and an express turnaround option for an additional $100, while reviews note that standard work without express options can take a long time.

They also provide rugs, tanning of hides, custom habitat bases and driftwood presentations, specialty deer displays, and educational services such as classes on caping deer heads for legal carcass transport.
