Rickey Ridge Taxidermy

Rickey Ridge Taxidermy works primarily on North American big game, African game, and lifesize small and large mammals, with a particular focus on whitetail and other game heads.

You can choose from shoulder and game head mounts or full‑body lifesize mounts, often paired with custom habitat bases.

Clint Rickey founded Rickey Ridge Taxidermy in 2003 after one‑on‑one training and has since advanced through professional, masters, and world‑level competitions.

He treats each mount as a one‑of‑a‑kind piece of wildlife art, emphasizing accurate anatomy, natural poses, and detailed, realistic finish work.

The studio does not publish standard mount prices and encourages you to contact Clint directly, but lists workshop rates such as $800 per day for advanced one‑on‑one training, $500 per day for watch‑and‑learn sessions, and $8,000 for a two‑week beginner gamehead course.

Reviews note that pricing feels absolutely fair for the quality and that the time between drop‑off and pick‑up is very reasonable.

Beyond mounts, the business offers taxidermy training workshops, help planning hunts, assistance with shipping hides, horns, or antlers, and support with trophy room design and display concepts.
