Ziggy's Taxidermy

The studio works on North American big game, exotic game, and African game, offering shoulder, full-body, and European-style mounts along with tanning and custom habitat bases.

You can choose from standard shoulder mounts, wall and free-standing pedestal mounts, full-body pieces, and European mounts, with options for custom bases and habitat scenes.

Owner Siegfried “Ziggy” Dühring brings years of experience as a hunter and taxidermist, with an Associate of Wildlife Management degree and extensive training in tanning, sculpting, mannequin work, and advanced mounting techniques on both North American and African species.

Reviews and testimonials describe him as a perfectionist and artist whose mounts show correct anatomy, lifelike poses, and strong attention to detail.

Their pricing reflects a focus on individual mount quality over volume, with a 50% non-refundable deposit required to start work, added charges for wall and pedestal mounts and custom bases, and a detailed price list available on request.

They limit how many projects they accept each year, and reviewers report reasonable to very fast turnaround times with clear progress updates, but you should contact the studio directly for current timelines.

They offer custom habitat and base work, can collect capes and skulls from select local meat processors, and allow studio visits and drop-offs by appointment.
