Services & Process

Adventures Wildlife Studio covers the taxidermy needs of hunters, anglers, and collectors across the Arvada area. Shoulder mounts for big game, including elk, mule deer, and pronghorn, are among the most requested services from Colorado hunters returning from western units. Fish mounts preserve the color, texture, and shape of prized catches from Colorado's rivers and reservoirs before they fade. The studio also likely handles bird mounts for upland hunters targeting turkey and pheasant, as well as skull and antler work for clients who prefer a minimalist display option.

Service Area

Adventures Wildlife Studio serves Arvada and the surrounding northwest Denver metro region. Hunters and anglers from Westminster, Broomfield, and Wheat Ridge are all within easy reach of the studio. Clients from closer mountain towns like Golden and Nederland also have a short drive to drop off specimens.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find out if Adventures Wildlife Studio is currently accepting new projects?
The best approach is to call (303) 944-5003 directly and ask about current availability and estimated turnaround times. Taxidermy studios often have busy periods following elk and deer seasons in the fall, so calling early gives you the best chance of getting on the schedule.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a pedestal mount?
A shoulder mount displays the head and upper chest on a wall plaque, while a pedestal mount shows more of the body and sits on a freestanding base. Pedestal mounts tend to cost more and take up more space, but they offer a more dramatic, three-dimensional presentation.
Can I have a fish mounted if I released it after catching it?
Yes, many taxidermists can produce a replica mount using accurate measurements, photographs, and species reference materials, even if you didn't keep the fish. Bringing detailed photos of the fish while it's still in the water gives the artist the best chance of matching its original coloring.
How long does a full body mount take compared to a shoulder mount?
Full body mounts are significantly more labor-intensive and typically take longer than shoulder mounts, sometimes adding several months to the timeline. The complexity of the pose, the size of the animal, and the studio's current workload all affect how long you'll be waiting.
Are there any Colorado regulations I should know about before having wildlife mounted?
Colorado requires that game animals be legally harvested with a valid license and tag, and some species such as raptors and songbirds are protected and cannot be mounted without special federal permits. Always check with Colorado Parks and Wildlife if you're unsure about the legal status of your specimen before dropping it off.
What should I bring when I drop off a specimen at a taxidermy studio?
Bring your hunting or fishing license and any required tags or documentation for the species, along with the specimen kept as cool and undamaged as possible. It also helps to bring reference photos of your ideal pose or finished style so you and the taxidermist are working from the same vision.
