Professional Taxidermy Studio

They work on big game, small game, birds, fish, exotics, and skins and furs, providing a broad range of wildlife taxidermy services.

Available mount styles include basic and premium custom-sculpted shoulder mounts, lifesize mounts, European skull and antler mounts, bird and fish mounts, rugs, and custom habitat pieces.

Founded in 1986 by owner Dan Lansford, the studio benefits from nearly four decades of continuous local professional taxidermy experience and a background in sculpting learned through apprenticeship.

They emphasize custom-sculpted forms that capture individual character and expression, aiming for lifelike, detailed mounts rather than mass-produced looks.

They maintain competitive pricing, keep rates at or below comparable studios, and encourage you to call or email to discuss specific pricing or lower quotes you may find.

Large orders typically take around six months or less, while smaller projects like antler or skull mounts usually finish in four to six weeks, with deer heads scheduled to be completed in a specific week and reasonable deadlines accommodated.

The studio also offers custom habitat mounts with prey, European skulls on plaques or bases, antler and horn mounts on hardwood plaques, soft-tanned hides, flat and open-mouth rugs with borders and backing, repair and restoration work, novelty pieces, and finished mounts for sale.
