Skullcooker Creations

They work on a wide range of big game and small game mammals, from small critters up to large livestock and trophy animals, with an emphasis on skulls, antlers, and horns.

Their work centers on European mounts and skull cleaning, including antler and deadhead restoration for horned and antlered game.

Jackson has been doing European mounts since he was 12 years old and has completed hundreds of skulls, drawing on a hardcore Montana hunting background and full-time taxidermy experience.

He uses a detailed boiling, cleaning, whitening, and sealing process that keeps antlers protected while producing clean, anatomically accurate skulls.

They publish a price list for European skull mounts that includes skinning, deboning, cleaning, and whitening, with example prices from $30 for small game up to $150–$170 for large animals like bison or oversized moose, plus surcharges when the lower jaw or skin is still attached and custom quotes for restoration work.

Using a boiling method, most skulls are finished in a week or less—often under three days in mild weather—and typically under two weeks even in cold and snowy conditions.

They also offer restoration of sunbleached antlers and deadheads, including whitening and bringing back contrast between horns and bone.
