      Animal Mount Details

      They work on a wide range of big game, small game, birds, and fish, offering both shoulder and life-size mounts.

      Available mount styles include shoulder, full-body, game head, European and antler mounts, fish skin mounts, bird mounts, and custom habitat bases and poses.

      In business since 1999, the studio has over two decades of experience, backed by ongoing training through seminars with world champion taxidermists.

      They emphasize attention to detail, realistic poses, and custom designs, aiming to create trophies they would be proud to display in their own home.


      Pricing & Turnaround

      Pricing is clearly itemized by category, with shoulder mounts for common big game starting around $575, bird mounts generally in the low-to-mid $300s, fish priced per inch with a discount on larger specimens, and life-size work and specialty options quoted by species, size, and pose.

      Turnaround times are not listed; you are asked to call to schedule trophy drop-off and pose selection, and the showroom is open by appointment or chance due to the hands-on nature of the work.

      They offer custom habitat and base upgrades (including water scenes), tanning, European and antler mounts, extreme mannikin pose alterations, taxidermy showpieces for sale or special order, plus nature photography, antler chandeliers and lamps, rustic frames, quilts, and wildlife-themed décor.


      What Customers Say

      4.7(12 reviews)
      Summary of customer sentiment based on reviews across the web

      Most reviewers praise the quality and realism of the work on fish, deer, coyotes, and other mounts, though one detailed review reports very poor results on a set of ram mounts.

      Customers consistently describe Marty as friendly, professional, and easy to work with, and many say they plan to return or recommend the studio to others.

      Reviews generally accept standard taxidermy lead times and mention good turnaround, with a few noting COVID-related delays and one negative review citing a longer-than-quoted wait.
