Animal Mount Details
They focus on renting a wide range of big game, small game, birds, pets, exotics, and oddities rather than offering traditional mounting services to individual hunters.
Available pieces span full-body mounts, shoulder mounts, European-style skull and antler displays, bird mounts, and game heads, often presented on finished bases or habitat scenes.
The studio cites over 30 years of experience fabricating custom animal pieces and more than 25 years collaborating with television and film productions.
They emphasize ethical, realistic work, including custom-fabricated animals created without taking new animals and high-end vintage, trophy-quality specimens.
