The art of taxidermy requires specific supplies including eyes, molds, whitener, and more. To get started on any work over $300, we require a 50% deposit at drop off.

Because of our passion for hunting and wanting to share it with the next generation, we offer a 15% discount for all youth hunting taxidermy services and waive skinning fees for skulls.
