Orion Taxidermy and Safari Studio

The studio works on big game, small game, birds, fish, and a wide range of exotic and African trophies.

You can choose from shoulder, full-body, half-life, and European skull mounts, as well as bird and fish mounts and rugs.

Owner Cole Rash is described as a premier taxidermist with a lifelong passion for wildlife and skills in sculpting, molding, painting, sewing, woodworking, anatomy, tanning, and materials work.

They focus on realistic, detailed craftsmanship that brings out the individual character of each trophy and is intended to last a lifetime.

Orion Taxidermy provides a detailed price list covering North American, exotic, African, bird, and fish work, requires a 50% deposit and a hunting license number before work begins, and clearly states that they prioritize quality over low pricing, with fish priced per inch and extras such as tine repair and specialty hardware available.

Turnaround times are not formally stated, and reviews describe mixed experiences, from the quickest turnaround some customers have seen to others waiting well beyond original estimates.

They also offer rugs, habitat-style options such as wall pedestals, and extras like tine repair, maggot treatment, and specialty hanging hardware.
