Your Trusted Taxidermist Near Madison, WI
Madison sits in the heart of some of Wisconsin’s best whitetail country, with productive deer hunting throughout Dane County’s farmland and river bottoms, strong turkey numbers each spring, and excellent waterfowl action on the area’s lakes, marshes, and along the Yahara River chain. Anglers pull trophy musky, walleye, and bass from lakes Mendota, Monona, and Waubesa. Whatever your pursuit, our team turns those once-in-a-lifetime moments into mounts you’ll be proud to display for generations.

Our specialties run deep — lifelike whitetail shoulder and pedestal mounts, dramatic flying and standing waterfowl, full-body and life-size bear, and museum-grade big-game and exotic work. European skull mounts are available too, but they’re just one small part of what we do.
What kinds of mounts do you do for Madison-area hunters?
Just about everything. Our most popular work is whitetail shoulder and pedestal mounts, full-flight and standing waterfowl, bear (rugs, half- and full-body), turkey, big game, and African exotics. We also do fish taxidermy and European skull mounts when you want them — all for hunters throughout the Madison, Verona, and Fitchburg area.
