Sloughview Taxidermy

Sloughview Taxidermy handles big game, small game, bears, small mammals, fish (including replicas), birds and fowl, and antler and skull work, though they are currently not accepting new bird work.

Available mount styles include shoulder, full-body and 3/4-body, rugs, European skull mounts, antler plaques, fish skin and replica mounts, and custom pedestal or backpack-style mounts.

Owner Mike Moltzan has been an outdoorsman and avid hunter his entire life, trained professionally at the Dan Rinehart Taxidermy School, and then turned taxidermy from a long-time hobby into his career.

The studio emphasizes detailed, realistic work, treating each trophy as if it were Mike’s own and providing clear prep instructions to help ensure high-quality mounts.

Sloughview Taxidermy posts a detailed 2025 price list, requires a 50% deposit before work begins, offers payment plans and contracts, and prices mounts by species and type with extras like bases or driftwood charged separately (for example: deer European mount $200, deer horn plaque $100, deer shoulder mount $750, bear rug $185 per foot, fish skin mounts $18 per inch, and fish replicas $25 per inch).

They do not list specific turnaround times, and reviews do not give clear timing details, so you should contact the studio directly to discuss current schedules.

Additional services include bear and small-mammal rugs, tanning-only options such as tanned hides and case tans, custom habitat bases with driftwood and large scenes, European skull preparation, and CWD testing for deer as of 2025.
