True Mount Taxidermy

True Mount Taxidermy primarily works on big game and predators, with limited bird work focused on turkey fan mounts and no current fish services.

They regularly create shoulder, pedestal, half-life-size, life-size mounts, European skull mounts, rugs, antler plaques, and turkey fan displays, with options for custom poses and habitat.

Cynthia describes taxidermy as her passion and applies the same careful, precise work to every piece, regardless of size.

Reviews highlight highly detailed, lifelike mounts that often hide field damage and present animals in natural, realistic poses.

The studio publishes a detailed 2025/2026 price list with example prices such as $800–$950 for many deer shoulder and pedestal mounts, species-based European skull rates, per-foot pricing on large life-size mounts and bear rugs, and tanning fees by species, and requires a 50% deposit paid by cash, check to "Cynthia Brailovski," or Venmo.

They offer a 6 Month Guarantee from the time tanned hides return from the tannery, and reviewers consistently report quick, reliable turnaround, often faster than expected.

Additional services include bear rugs with padding and felt borders, custom habitat bases, Dermestid beetle skull cleaning and whitening, antler plaques, turkey fan mounts, and tanning with prep work such as keeping paws and claws intact and splitting/turning ears, nose, and lips on furbearers.
