Animal Mount Details
They work on big game, small game, birds, fish, exotics, and pets, offering both standard mounts and custom scenes.
You can choose from shoulder and full-body mounts, European and antler mounts, bird and fish mounts, rugs, tanning, and custom habitat scenes to fit your space.
Xtreme Taxidermy is family owned and operated for 20+ years, with Daniel Ross turning a long-time hobby into a full-time career supported by his background in automotive painting and his family’s hands-on involvement.
They emphasize lifelike, high-quality mounts and custom designs, with repeat local customers and recognition through TV and event appearances.

A non-refundable deposit is required on all work, the balance is due upon completion, and they manage turnaround by season and project complexity while maintaining regular weekday hours and limited Saturday hours in deer season.
Additional services include custom habitat bases and scene mounts, rugs, freeze-dry work for antlers, pet preservation through their sister company, and limited deer processing.
