Alive Creations By Travis Jones

Alive Creations by Travis Jones brings a personal, artist-driven approach to taxidermy in Stevensville, Montana. Stevensville sits at the northern end of the Bitterroot Valley, surrounded by prime deer, elk, and upland bird habitat, making it a natural home base for a working taxidermist. Travis's name is on the door, which means you're working directly with the person doing the actual work, not an anonymous production shop. That kind of direct accountability matters when you're trusting someone with a once-in-a-lifetime trophy.

Alive Creations handles big-game mounts including deer, elk, and antelope, with a focus on natural, lifelike positioning that captures the animal's character. Bird taxidermy is another specialty, particularly relevant in western Montana where pheasant, grouse, and waterfowl hunters are common. Full body mounts require the most detailed work, involving custom habitat bases that give the piece real display impact. Antler and skull mounting round out the service list for hunters who want a cleaner, more affordable preservation option.

Alive Creations serves Stevensville and the surrounding Bitterroot Valley communities, including Florence, Victor, and Hamilton. Clients from Missoula, just 30 miles north, also make the trip for personal studio work. The studio is well positioned for hunters working the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge area.
