Silver Falls Taxidermy

Silver Falls Taxidermy primarily works on big game and birds, offering a range of options from European mounts to shoulder and life-size pieces.

You can choose from European skull mounts, shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, fan and plaque mounts, and custom-designed presentations.

Owner Ryan McKone studied at the Academy of Realistic Taxidermy under nationally recognized, award-winning taxidermists and draws on years of hunting, fishing, and camping in Northeast Oregon.

He emphasizes realistic poses, beetle-cleaned and fully processed skulls, and habitat bases designed to reflect natural environments.

The studio posts detailed pricing for European skull work and bases, with pedestal hardwood bases typically ranging from about $400–$800 depending on size, wood type, and habitat, and requires a 50% deposit and copy of your hunting tag at drop-off.

Turn-around time runs roughly six months for European skull mounts, with some shoulder mounts completed very quickly depending on workload.

They offer custom bases with habitat or scenery for European and life-size mounts, along with standard floor or wall bases and pedestal options with leather backing and detachable steel brackets.
