Rising Phoenix Taxidermy

They work on a wide range of North American big game, African and exotic mammals, and other small to medium mammals, handling many species.

Available mount styles include shoulder, ½ size, life‑size, pedestal, European mounts, antler plaques, and rugs, with custom habitat bases and scenery available.

The taxidermist trained at an accredited taxidermy school and previously spent 12 years as an auto body mechanic and professional painter before founding Rising Phoenix Taxidermy.

They reject the idea of basic commercial mounts, aiming for competition‑quality work with lifelike detail and natural presentation on every piece.

They publish an extensive, competitive price list for North American, African, and exotic mammals—for example, deer shoulder mounts around $900, elk shoulder mounts around $1,900, and European mounts for many species starting around $250–$400—with additional charges for options like open mouths, habitats, restoration, and repairs.

They state that they spend as much time as needed on each piece to ensure quality and reviews consistently note fast turnaround, often on or before the quoted completion date and quicker than other local shops.

They offer custom habitat bases and scenery, rugs, antler repair, mount restoration, local pickup and delivery for an additional fee, and shipping of trophies anywhere in the U.S.
