True to Life Taxidermy

They offer full-service big game and small game taxidermy, including work on domestic livestock and other trophy animals.

Available mount styles include shoulder, life-size, half life-size, European mounts, and rugs, along with custom pedestal and habitat options.

Ricky began learning taxidermy in 2010 and now works full-time with his son Renee, who trained alongside him and joined after college.

They focus on producing lifelike, durable mounts by pairing detailed craftsmanship with modern methods and materials.

They publish detailed 2026 price lists by species and mount type, with common big game shoulder mounts around $950, elk shoulders at $1,600, Shiras moose shoulders at $1,900, and many large life-size predator mounts around $4,000, plus clearly listed surcharges for add-ons like antler repair, removable antlers, open-mouth work, velvet preservation, and pedestal upgrades.

Mounts require a 50% deposit at drop-off (tans are paid in full at drop-off), prices are subject to change, and they state that the family works together to return mounts in a timely manner, though no specific timelines are quoted.

They also provide tanning and fur dressing with per-hide pricing, basic pedestals and habitats with life-size mounts, custom bases and habitat scenes, antler repair, and other design alterations.
