Animal Mount Details
They work on big game, small mammals, birds, fish, and other wild game from North America, Asia, and Africa.
You can choose from shoulder, half-size, and life-size mounts, European mounts, wall and floor pedestals, pack mounts, rugs, and detailed custom habitat scenes, including reproduction fish displays.
Doug and Laura are professionally trained in animal artistry, are hunters themselves, and use modern techniques, products, tools, and custom habitat methods to create competition-level mounts.
They emphasize detailed anatomical accuracy, realistic eyes and ear structure, and natural poses that reflect your field photos and personal story.
