Animal Mount Details
They work on big game, small game mammals, birds, and fish, as well as European skulls and rugs.
You can choose from options such as shoulder, full-body, bird, and fish mounts, plus European mounts and rug work, with custom habitat available as an add-on.
Dillon began tanning small animals at 13, then trained at Pro Mount School of Taxidermy in Billings, Montana, where he refined bird work and learned to mount fish and big game.
He continually works to make each mount more realistic and durable, emphasizing lifelike detail and longevity so your trophies can last a lifetime.

Customers mention great price and timing, and note strong results on both duck and elk mounts, though the small number of reviews limits broader conclusions.
