Animal Mount Details
They work on big game, small game, predators, birds, African and other exotics, along with select display pieces like rugs and European mounts.
Available mount styles include shoulder mounts, lifesize and half-lifesize pieces, wall and table pedestals, European skull mounts, antler-only displays, bird-related mounts, and custom habitat bases.
The taxidermist has earned multiple awards and ribbons at state, national, and world taxidermy conventions, including placements in the Master’s and Professional divisions between 2007 and 2009.
Reviews often describe the work as excellent and award-winning, though one detailed review reports visible stitching and finish issues on several mounts, reflecting mixed experiences.
Pricing & Turnaround
They do not publish a general price list and ask you to call or email for project quotes, with one example showing a kudu mount offered for $700.
Turnaround experiences in reviews are mixed, with one customer praising quick completion of two mounts and another criticizing payment by check and slow shipping on a hide.
The studio also creates rugs, antler-only work, commercial and in-store displays, habitat bases, and offers finished mounts for sale.
What Customers Say
Most reviewers highlight very good, award-winning quality and long-term satisfaction, while one negative reviewer reports serious workmanship problems on African plains game mounts.
Service feedback ranges from very professional and helpful to concerns about poor communication, brief responses to questions, and a change in attitude after a deposit is paid.
Comments on reliability and logistics are mixed, with some noting timely completion and others unhappy with check-only payments, shipping choices, and delivery delays; overall reviews are limited in number.
