Wilderness Taxidermy

They handle a broad range of birds, fish, small game, big game, and exotic and African game, with current work centered on birds, fish, and small game rather than new big game projects.

Available mount styles have included shoulder and life-size mounts, bird mounts, horn mounts on plaques, rugs, and other custom presentations, though some big game and European options have been discontinued.

Owner Dwight has over 40 years of full-time professional taxidermy experience and has operated Wilderness Taxidermy in Maple Grove since 1980, building the business through reputation and word of mouth.

He highlights a long-standing focus on refining the art of taxidermy, producing quality work with attention to customer goals and mount design.
