Tony's Taxidermy

They work on big game, small game, birds, exotics, and hides, including both standard North American species and more unusual trophies.

You can choose from shoulder, pedestal, full-body, European, antler, rug, and tanning work, with custom habitat bases available for an additional cost.

The family has over 20 years of experience in the taxidermy trade and is associated with the Illinois Taxidermy Association and the National Taxidermists Association.

They use McKenzie and other professional forms and focus on completing each mount to your specifications with attention to detail and realism.

Tony's Taxidermy publishes detailed pricing for common mounts and tanning, such as deer antler mounts starting around $150, shoulder mounts around $900, lifesize small game around $800–$1,200, and larger lifesize work like bears starting around $1,500, with some larger mounts requiring deposits and habitat priced separately.

Typical turnaround runs about 12–18 months, and reviews note work is often completed when promised, though high demand can mean a waiting list.

They also offer rugs, tanning-only services, custom habitat bases, turkey tail fan mounts, and specialty items like hoof gun racks.
