Financing Made Easy
Easy 8 Payment Plan
Four flexible ways to pay spread over eight months. No banks. No credit checks. Just simple in-house financing so you can get the mount you want.
Option 01
Pay in Full
Pay the full amount when you place your order. Simplest option — no follow-up payments.
Option 02
50 / 50 Split
50% down at order, remaining 50% due in eight months.
Option 03
Three Installments
Pay in three equal installments over eight months. Auto-withdrawal required.
Option 04
Monthly
Equal monthly payments across eight months. Auto-withdrawal required.
Note: if a payment is missed, work will pause until the account is brought current. Delivery times are not based on the 8-month schedule, but staying on track with payments will prioritize your order in our workflow.
Need It Sooner?
Rush Service Options
Standard delivery time is 12–14 months, with some projects taking longer. If you need your trophy back faster, we offer three rush tiers — availability is limited, so reach out early.
30Day Super Rush
+100% Standard
Completion in 30 days from receipt. Full prepayment required. Not available for all orders.
90Day Rush
+50% Standard
Completion in 90 days from receipt. Popular option for mounts needed ahead of a season or show.
180Day Expedited
+25% Standard
Completion in 180 days from receipt. The easiest way to trim several months off the standard timeline.
Rush capacity is limited and a rush deadline is confirmed only when we accept the order, so ask as early as you can.
Taxidermy pricing varies greatly — and you get what you pay for. Investing a little more up front in a quality mount saves you money, and disappointment, in the long run.Aaron & Austin Stehling — Second Generation
Ways to Pay
Cash, check, and all major credit cards accepted. Financing through Affirm also available.
Credit card payments incur an additional 3% processing fee.
