Scenic Rivers Taxidermy

They handle North American big game, small game, exotics, African species, birds, and fish, along with skulls and tanning projects.

You can choose from shoulder, pedestal, half-life-size, and full-life-size mounts, as well as European-style skull and antler presentations.

Established over 25 years ago, the studio combines decades of experience with meticulous craftsmanship in wildlife preservation.

Reviews highlight highly realistic, detailed mounts across many species, with customers calling the work outstanding, artistic, and flawless.

They publish an extensive, itemized price list covering mounts, tanning, skull work, and custom items, require a 50% deposit on all mounts, add a 4% service charge on credit card payments, and note that shipping and handling are extra; reviewers consistently describe the prices as very fair and a strong value.

Customers generally report reasonable to excellent turnaround times, though a few note that some projects can take longer and advise allowing for potentially extended lead times.

They also offer rugs, habitat bases, fish reproductions on driftwood, freeze-dry work for antlers in velvet, custom panels and name plates, lamps, gun racks, and pillows made from skins.
