Your Trusted Taxidermist Near Milwaukee, WI
Milwaukee-area hunters chase a little of everything. Whitetail come out of the Kettle Moraine, the Bark and Rock River corridors, and the farm country just west of the city; spring turkey are strong across Waukesha and Washington counties; and the Lake Michigan flyway and inland marshes put divers, puddle ducks, and Canada geese in front of waterfowlers all fall. Anglers pull trophy brown trout, salmon, and lake-run browns off the lakeshore plus walleye, pike, and bass from the inland chains. 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.
