Trav's Taxidermy Full time professional taxidermy service.

We are currently over half full on whitetail mount capacity and will be limiting all future work to repeat clients only for rest of 2025/26 season. All bear and any lifesize mount quotas are full until Sept 1, 2026.

ATTENTION CUSTOMERS! We are currently at maximum capacity on ALL MOUNTS for this season. The date we will stop taking in work is Wednesday, November 24th at 12:00/noon. On April 5th I will have 5 spots open for bears. First 5 people that call and put a deposit on will have the spots. I will post on here about turkeys when we get closer to season. I really wish we could do more but we are booked out to end of 2022 and I cant take any more work than that due to shop space, volatility of my supply prices, and just the mental stress of having too much work over my head. For those that still want to use our services and would like to keep their deer for the front of the line next season we are offering to skin, bag, and remove skull cap out of your deer to take minimal space in your freezer to store for next season. It will be $60 for this service and that $60 will be taken off your mount next season when you bring in to mount. A big Thankyou to all who have been patient with us and given us the opportunity to have a successful business.

Over the last week the skinning table has definitely heated up with deer traffic. All pics below are customer mounts mounted from last season. This is what you can expect your mount to look like if you bring in a decent cape in good shape. Standard shoulder mounts this season are $470+ tax and a $200 deposit. Completion times are expected to be in the 4-8 month range depending on time of year brought in. Wishing everyone a great time in the woods!

To say I love taxidermy is almost an understatement. This past weekend's state competition was definitely a highlight and a milestone I have only hoped someday to reach. On the surface I think of all the hard work that went into this one piece but then it is so much more than that. Years of taking licks from judges, hours of reference study and trying and failing and trying again. The hours of time judges,instructors, and taxidermy friends invested in helping me improve. And then the shear frustration of trying to get anything even remotely close to what God created the animal to look like is about as humbling a job as you can get. At any rate the judge thought my deer was the least crummy so I got to walk home with the whitetail state champion medallion and a smile on my face. I hope to use any knowledge and skills I've learned this year to take my customers mounts to a higher level and keep improving!

YES WE DO SKULL MOUNTS! Well over a hundred a year to be exact! All skulls are cleaned either using dermestid beetles or maceration and then degreased in a thermostat controlled degreasing tank, then whitened and clearcoated.
