Pheasant Hollow Taxidermy

They work on big game, small game mammals, birds, fish, and a range of exotics and African game.

Available mount styles include shoulder and game head mounts, full-body mounts, bird mounts, fish skin mounts and reproductions, European and antler mounts, and rugs, often paired with habitat bases.

Owner Daryl Keyes brings over 35 years of taxidermy experience in all areas of the craft, supported by several skilled employees.

They highlight competition-driven improvement, hands-on training, and a mission to treat each mount as if it were for their own showroom, using high-quality materials for realistic results.

The studio publishes detailed, itemized pricing across game heads, lifesize mounts, fish, rugs, birds, and European or antler mounts, with example shoulder mounts for common big game starting around the mid-$600 range and lifesize work ranging from the hundreds into the mid-$4,000s, plus add-ons for open mouths, pedestals, and habitats; African and other exotics are priced on request and all prices are subject to change.

They describe their approach as offering reasonable turnaround at a reasonable cost, with most mounts completed within about 12 months or less.

In addition to taxidermy, they build custom habitat bases and rugs and operate the Taxidermy Training Academy, which offers hands-on courses from short workshops to a six-week program covering mounting, tanning, airbrushing, painting, finish work, habitat construction, and business basics.
