Taxidermy

Services & Process

A studio operating under a name like Adventure Taxidermy signals a broad approach to the craft, likely covering everything from standard deer and elk shoulder mounts to fish and bird work. Full body mounts for predators like coyote or fox are another specialty that appeals to collectors and outdoor enthusiasts. Rug mounts for bear or mountain lion require a different set of skills than traditional mounts, involving careful hide work and sometimes foam backing for display. Habitat displays, which stage a mounted animal in a naturalistic diorama setting, are a premium service that collectors and museums often seek out.

Service Area

Adventure Taxidermy Studio serves Billings and the broader southcentral Montana region, including customers from Roundup, Miles City, and the agricultural communities east of the city. Billings sits at the intersection of major highways, making it accessible to hunters from across a wide geographic area. Out-of-state hunters passing through on Interstate 90 also make up part of the customer base.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a full body mount?
A shoulder mount preserves and displays the head, neck, and upper chest of the animal on a wall form. A full body mount captures the entire animal in a lifelike pose and is a significantly more involved and expensive process.
Can taxidermists work with animals taken out of state and transported to Billings?
Yes, as long as you comply with wildlife transport regulations in both the state where the animal was taken and Montana. Your taxidermist can advise you on what documentation you may need for certain species.
What is a habitat display and who typically orders one?
A habitat display combines a mounted animal with a naturalistic background, including artificial rocks, vegetation, or water elements. Museums, educational institutions, and serious collectors are the most common customers for this type of work.
Do I need to make an appointment to drop off a trophy at an Adventure Taxidermy Studio?
Calling ahead is always a good idea, especially during the fall hunting season when studios are at their busiest. A quick call lets the taxidermist prepare for your arrival and ensures you get the time needed to talk through your project.
How does fish taxidermy work, and is it different from mammal mounts?
Fish taxidermy is quite different because soft tissue deteriorates quickly. Most modern fish mounts use a fiberglass reproduction painted to match your specific catch, which means you actually only need accurate measurements and photos rather than the fish itself.
Can a rug mount be made from a black bear harvested in Montana?
Yes, black bear rug mounts are a popular request in Montana. The hide is cleaned, tanned, and mounted flat with the head either flat or open-mouthed. You'll want to get the bear to a taxidermist quickly to prevent hair slippage.
