    About Wild Images In Motion Taxidermy

    Wild Images In Motion Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio located in Savage, Minnesota, showcasing extensive work on North American game, African species, and exotics from around the world.

    You see a gallery-driven, high-end studio that blends realistic taxidermy with fine art, custom dioramas, and trophy-room design.

    Their primary focus is on one-of-a-kind, custom lifesize and pedestal mounts rather than basic, high-volume shoulder work.

      Animal Mount Details

      They work broadly across big game, small game, and exotics, with an emphasis on North American trophies, African species, and international sheep and other large game.

      You can choose from shoulder and pedestal mounts, full-body and lifesize pieces, and dramatic custom habitat scenes such as predator–prey interactions and interactive multi-animal displays.

      The studio positions itself as a specialist in complex, showcase-quality projects like large dioramas, artificial trees, and full trophy-room installations.

      Reviews and the portfolio highlight highly artistic, lifelike work that aims for natural poses and dramatic visual impact, though opinions on workmanship vary.


      Pricing & Turnaround

      Pricing is not listed; the studio requires a non-refundable 35% deposit, charges a minimum $40.00 per month storage fee on delayed orders, adds a 3% fee to credit card payments, and limits liability to current market value of replacement skins with a $100.00 deductible on approved claims.

      Reviews describe long and sometimes extremely delayed turnaround times, with some customers reporting waits of several years or never receiving their mounts.

      They also create custom habitat bases, artificial trees, full trophy-room and commercial-style displays, and offer wildlife art, murals, and painted elephant ears.

      Summary of customer sentiment based on reviews across the web

      Customer feedback on quality is mixed, with many praising the mounts as excellent, highly artistic, and very lifelike, and at least one criticizing visible patching and poor finish work.

      Service and communication receive largely negative reviews, citing unreturned calls and emails, difficulty reaching the studio, and complaints about rude or unprofessional interactions, alongside a few notes from long-term satisfied clients.

      Several reviewers report serious concerns about reliability, including very long wait times, lost or misplaced trophies, and inconsistent follow-through, so you should clarify expectations in writing before committing work.
