Your Trusted Taxidermist Near Waukesha, WI
Waukesha County is some of the best mixed hunting country in southern Wisconsin. The Kettle Moraine State Forest and surrounding farmland hold strong whitetail numbers, the lakes and wetlands around Pewaukee, Okauchee, and the Bark River draw ducks and geese through the fall, and spring turkey hunting is excellent across the ridges and woodlots. Anglers work trophy musky, walleye, bass, and panfish out of the Waukesha-area lake 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.
