TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Elwood, Utah
Taxidermy Utah Wildlife Studio is a taxidermy studio located in Elwood, Utah, focused on turning hunting trophies into high-quality artistic mounts.
You work directly with a full-time shop that combines custom design, competition-level techniques, and practical services like skull cleaning, rugs, tanning facilitation, and shipping.
They primarily operate as a full-service big game and mammal-focused studio with support and training available for other taxidermists on large or complex projects.
They handle a broad range of mammals and big game, including predators, antlered and horned animals, domestic livestock, and other small game, along with professional skull and rug work.
Available work includes traditional mounts, European mounts, professional skull cleaning, tanning coordination, and custom rug taxidermy.
Owner Scott Hill brings large-shop experience handling hundreds of projects from small mammals to African elephant reproductions and has taught more than 50 new taxidermists at a local taxidermy school.
Customers highlight realistic, detailed work, quality tanning, seamless repairs, and custom touches like pedestals and bronzed skulls that showcase craftsmanship.
They emphasize quality taxidermy at a reasonable price and require half down at drop-off, and they accept all forms of payment; contact the studio to discuss current rates for your project.
Most full taxidermy projects are completed in 9 months or less with a target of under one year, while European mounts for antlered and horned animals are typically finished in 45 days or less and predator skulls in about 3–4 months.
They offer contract rug work for other taxidermists nationwide, professional skull cleaning, tanning facilitation through a professional tannery, shipping of finished work out of state, commercial support on complex projects, and advanced taxidermy training.
Reviews are strongly positive about quality, citing beautiful, realistic mounts, clean European mounts, quality tanning, bronzed skulls, and professional results across various animals.
Customers describe Scott as kind, professional, easy to work with, and highly communicative, noting that he keeps them updated and helps preserve important hunt memories.
Reviewers consistently praise fast, reliable turnaround—often days or under two weeks for some skull and European mount work—and many say they are repeat customers or recommend the shop to others.
The studio is located in Elwood, Utah, serving hunters and taxidermy clients in Tremonton and Northern Utah, as well as out-of-state customers through shipping.
