Animal Mount Details
Two Rivers Taxidermy works on big game, small game, birds, fish, and exotic and African species.
You can choose from shoulder, half-body, full-body, pedestal, rug, and fish mounts, often paired with custom poses and detailed habitat bases.
Owner Buck Schaaf is a licensed and certified Master Taxidermist with 29 years of experience and has run Two Rivers Taxidermy since 2006.
The studio emphasizes realism, up-to-date techniques, commercially tanned hides, and meticulous detail aimed at creating mounts that last for generations.
Pricing & Turnaround
Pricing is provided on request, with a required deposit and remaining balances due within 30 days of completion; they encourage you to call or email for specific quotes, and skinning is free when you have the animal mounted there.
They do not list set turnaround times and stress that they are not a quick-production shop, with reviews indicating work is generally worth the wait but noting occasional delays and communication issues on long projects.
The studio offers hand- and machine-sewn rugs, extensive custom habitat and display options, and pre-hunt import coordination and paperwork support for hunts outside the USA.
What Customers Say
Reviewers consistently describe the mounts as high quality, realistic, and artistic, with strong attention to detail and pieces that still look great many years later.
Most customers report positive service and say the taxidermist is easy to work with, though at least one review notes communication problems on a complex project.
Reviewers generally accept longer timelines as part of the quality, calling the work worth the wait, while one customer reports a delayed, ultimately uncompleted fish replica and frustration with follow-up.
