TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Morrow, Ohio
Patton’s Taxidermy Shop LLC is a taxidermy studio located in Morrow, Ohio, led by award‑winning taxidermist Tim Patton.
The studio operates as a full‑service, hunter‑focused shop that offers a personalized experience from field care guidance through finished mount.
They focus on a wide range of work including whitetail deer, European skull mounts, birds, big game, exotics, and fish.
They work on big game, small game, birds (including migratory species), exotics, and fish, with both skin and replica fish options.
Available mount styles include shoulder mounts, full‑body bird and game mounts, European skull mounts, fish skin and reproduction mounts, rugs, and custom display habitats, along with restoration and remount services.
Owner Tim Patton has over 25 years of taxidermy experience, is a first‑place award‑winning member of the Ohio Taxidermists Association, and serves as an official measurer for Safari Club International.
The shop emphasizes realistic, highly detailed work—such as individually tipped fish scales and brilliantly white European skulls—and backs mounts with a lifetime guarantee.
European mounts start at $90, small game at $215, large game at $525, and upland game birds at $250, with tanning, miscellaneous work, and exotics available by call‑for‑pricing and a wholesale price list on request; they require a 50% deposit (75% for sourced hides, skulls, or antlers) and add a 5% service charge for credit card payments.
They do not list standard mount turnaround times, but note that War Bird products typically ship in 3–4 weeks and that phone calls and emails are returned within one business day, with some reviews praising fast completion and one review reporting delays.
Additional services include hydro dipping/camo dipping for skulls and gear, mount installation, restoration and remounts (including antique pieces), custom displays and habitats, bearskin and exotic rugs, field care classes, consulting, and finished War Bird mounts and branded apparel and gift cards for sale.
Reviewers generally describe the quality as high, with realistic, well‑finished mounts and strong praise for European mounts, fish work, and camo‑dipped skulls, though one customer reports a poorly executed camo European mount.
Most customers highlight friendly, helpful, and professional service, noting that the owner goes out of his way to make things right and even sends holiday cards, while one review criticizes communication and outcome on a specific project.
Several reviews mention very fast turnaround and quick completion, but one reviewer describes months of delays and repeated broken promises, so you should discuss timing directly when you book.
The studio is located in Morrow, Ohio, and serves hunters and anglers from the surrounding region and beyond, including out‑of‑state customers via shipment.
