Animal Mount Details
Stacks Taxidermy works on big game and other large mammals, birds, and fish, with seasonal limits on what they accept.
They offer European mounts and bird mounts, and other mount styles are available by prior arrangement.
The owners are avid outdoorsmen who compete at state and regional shows and feature award-winning large mammal pieces in their portfolio.
They stress competition-level quality, realistic presentation, and a no-shortcuts approach to each mount.
Pricing & Turnaround
They publish a price list on their site and invite you to contact the studio directly for current rates and quotes.
Reviews suggest work can take many months and sometimes up to about a year, so you should call ahead to coordinate drop-off and timing, especially during busy seasons or when availability is reduced.
They maintain a large showroom of finished mounts and engage with professional taxidermy organizations, reflecting active involvement in the broader taxidermy community.
What Customers Say
Most reviewers praise the mounts as high quality, realistic, and impressive—especially deer, wolves, and showroom pieces—though a few report poor results on certain fish mounts.
Customers describe the team as professional, friendly, and accommodating, with many saying they will not go anywhere else and noting extra efforts like opening on a Sunday for traveling hunters.
Reviewers mention that mounts can take time due to the shop’s busy schedule, but many feel the wait is worth it, and some note work completed around or slightly ahead of the quoted timeframe.
