Rocke Wildlife Studio is a taxidermy studio located in Eureka, Illinois, offering custom-designed wildlife art rather than production taxidermy.
They work closely with you to create detailed, realistic, and long-lasting mounts that preserve the memories and sentimental value of each trophy.
The studio treats taxidermy as fine wildlife art, using advanced methods, high-quality materials, and natural habitat scenes tailored to your hunt.
They handle a wide range of North American, African, and exotic big game, small and medium game, birds, fish, reptiles, pets, and domestic animals, as well as rugs.
You can choose from shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, bird mounts, tanning, rugs, and custom habitat scenes designed around your trophy.
In business for over thirty years and founded in 1980, the studio is led by owner Robyn Rocke, who has decades of experience across all parts of taxidermy and tanning, supported by team members focused on fine finishing, airbrushing, and detailed habitat work.
They emphasize realism, durability, and natural poses, applying advanced techniques, superior forms, and quality glass eyes in a modern, secure, and insured studio.
