High Quality Taxidermy At Affordable Rates

I have been professionally trained and certified by one of America's best Taxidermy Schools. I am State and federally licensed since 1982. Having completed well over 5,000 high quality wildlife taxidermy art work pieces I have the experience and skills needed to give you the best piece for your buck. I am also a very talented wildlife artist with my own limited-edition prints. So my skill speaks for itself in my taxidermy work. In this line of business if your not good you don't last long.

I am in my 25th year of business. I use the highest quality materials ensuring high grade workmanship that the clients love. I treat your trophy as if it were my own. I have been entrusted to mount world-class category deer. I am doing mostly deer heads and fish taxidermy work, but also some African mounts. Drive a little and save a lot. Look forward to meeting you! Have a safe weekend!



Affordable Rates Are A Daily Special





I know what the market allows for this type of work, and I have chosen to make the work affordable. My rates for fish are $6.95 an inch, A REAL BARGAIN in today’s economy! (Other places are $10.00- $24.00 inch) Example: my rate for a 30 inch walleye that would cost $208.50 plus driftwood and tax. Or another example is a 22 inch Largemouth Bass would cost you $152.90 plus driftwood and tax. It is hard to find high quality and rates at these prices. That is what makes my work very popular among my clients and future clients.

My rate for deer heads have not gone up in five years. Even though my material and shipping rates have increased, I have maintained the rate of $395 plus tax for deer heads, because of the economy and to make having a high quality deer mounting affordably. Many taxidermy studios’s like mine charge an extra $50 to add texture to the nose of the deer making the completed mount more lifelike and realistic. I do this for FREE as a service to my clients. Clients who hear about my work from a friend often the year before have paid $200 more than my rates, when they compare the more costly mount and my finished mount, they tell me that my mounts are a higher quality than the mount they had the previous year. So my work speaks for itself.
