A Sportsmans Dream Taxidermy

A Sportsmans Dream Taxidermy Welcome To A Sportsmans Dream Taxidermy Thank you for visiting A Sportsman's Dream Taxidermy, we are located in Vicksburg, Michigan.

Hi, my name is Ryan Olson, Michigan Taxidermist for A Sportsman's Dream Taxidermy. My career started out as just a hobby doing a few deer and birds for myself. After a few years of people requesting me to do their work, A Sportsman's Dream Taxidermy was born. I graduated from Western Pennsylvania School of Taxidermy with world renowned teacher, Mark Jordan. Here we specialized in Game heads and Fi

sh taxidermy. My taxidermy skills include everything from North American small game life-size, to big bugling Bull Elk, from Small bluegills to giant king salmon reproductions. I have done several different African life size and game head mounts. We offer a complete range of taxidermy service from A-Z. We invite you to stop in our show room so that you can see the top notch quality taxidermy work that we provide. Our main goal is to recreate the exact moment when you pulled the trigger or when you set the hook. We use only top notch products and up to date techniques to create a once in a lifetime mount. I want to thank all of our previous customers for entrusting your trophies with me. Here you will find that we offer some of the best taxidermy work in the area. Through many years of being an avid hunter and fisherman, I know the importance of a very high quality taxidermy mount. Our goal is not to only impress you, but impress anyone who views your trophy.

The LUX buck! This sucker has mass for days! Kalamazoo county stud! He looks like he has baseball bats coming out of his head. By the sounds of the fallout after he was harvested, there were several people chasing this buck! We were sure gald we had the opportunity to put him together for this awesome hunter!

We put this one on a 6900 wall pedestal with a custom leather back!

We have been wrapping up some bear projects.

Bears never really "fall together". Every bear is different depending on time of year of harvest (Spring or fall), age, s*x etc. Almost every single form must be altered.

How we do things at this shop, we make the form fit the skin and not the other way around. Just because its not a stock option, doesn't mean we dont take on the project. This one was a great example and finished out nicely!

Just give us a block of foam and a head and we can take it from there!

With this Memorial Day holiday, we want to take a moment to pay tribute to all of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedom.

A while back we put together this special piece, and I thought today would be the perfect day to share it.

Memorial Day is more than just a long weekend — it is a day to remember the brave men and women who gave everything so we could enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication will never be forgotten.

Today we honor the fallen, give thanks to the families who carry their memory, and reflect on the true meaning of service and sacrifice.

Please take a moment today to remember those heroes.

God bless our military, their families, and the United States of America. 🇺🇸

We keep rolling on! Check out this custom wall pedestal for my buddy Jarred. We have done many mounts for him and his wife and really appreciate their business.

This is a mckenzie 8900 wall pedestal with a few custom alterations. We gave it a natural eye roll to add realism and a custom barnwood crafted back.
