Oakes Taxidermy LLC

They work on big game, small game, birds, waterfowl, and other North American game animals.

You can choose from shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, and bird mounts, with custom habitats and bases available to enhance the presentation.

Owner Jason is a professionally certified taxidermist who trained at the Western Pennsylvania School of Taxidermy after serving over 20 years in the United States Air Force.

He emphasizes exceptional craftsmanship, extreme attention to detail, and natural, lifelike poses, treating every piece as if it were his own.

They publish a detailed price list with example rates such as around $1,800 for small lifesize mammals including a simple habitat, about $900 for big game shoulder mounts, $5,000–$5,500+ for lifesize big game, $525–$1,700 for various birds, and $1,200 for full-strut turkeys, with extras for open-mouth poses, antler repair, and custom habitats and bases, all positioned as fair for competition-quality work.

They invite you to call or text to discuss your project and note that they will take care of your trophy as soon as possible, setting expectations up front even though exact turnaround times are not listed.

The studio offers custom habitats and bases, habitat-style presentations like artificial driftwood, and antler repair, with a Federal Permit allowing migratory bird taxidermy.
