    Animal Mount Details

    They work on a wide range of big game and other wild game animals, and also handle hides and horn/antler work.

    You can choose from shoulder mounts, European mounts, horn mounts, tanned hides, custom pedestals, and select lifesize-style pieces with habitat bases.

    Family owned and operated since 1997, the business builds on over 40 years of wild game experience through owner Bruce’s background in his dad’s meat market and lifelong hunting and outdoor experience.

    They emphasize quality workmanship, high attention to detail, and realistic mounts that clients proudly use as home décor.


    Pricing & Turnaround

    They publish detailed, menu-style pricing for processing and taxidermy, with clear rates, a required 50% deposit on taxidermy work, and example prices such as around $820–$920 for many big game shoulder mounts and higher for larger species, and they encourage you to call for pricing on additional species or options.

    They are known for relatively quick turnaround, with fast processing times, taxidermy completed in a timely manner, and European mounts typically ready before June, with appointments required for off-season taxidermy and pickups.

    They offer custom pedestals, rock-based habitat-style pieces, camo-dipped European mounts, antler repair, and a full range of wild game processing products like sausages, burgers, and jerky.
