They work on big game, small game, birds, fish, and exotics for both taxidermy and processing.
Mount options include shoulder and life-size mounts, horn and European mounts, with custom pedestals and habitats available by quote.
They emphasize detailed European mounts by using Dermestid beetles to clean skulls instead of boiling, aiming to avoid brittle bone and preserve quality.
They publish detailed price lists, with example taxidermy prices such as around $800–$950 for many shoulder mounts, $1,300–$1,400 for some lifesize and larger game mounts, $250–$275 for many European mounts and deer-size hide tanning, and processing starting at about $150 plus per-pound sausage, jerky, and specialty fees.
Processing requires at least a $50 deposit and taxidermy requires a 50% deposit, and they note that prices may vary and encourage you to request a quote; reviews describe turnaround as mixed, with some work finished early or on an average schedule and others delayed well past promised dates.
