Services & Process

All Phases Emmick's handles the full range of trophy work you'd expect from a Montana-based shop, including elk shoulder and full-body mounts where massive antler sets and thick winter hides demand both strength and precision from the taxidermist. Mule deer and whitetail shoulder mounts are regular work, along with antelope, which require careful attention to the unique facial markings and coloring that make the species distinct. Fish mounts cover the prized brown and rainbow trout of the Yellowstone River system. Bird work includes pheasant, turkey, and waterfowl for hunters working the eastern Montana flyways, with accurate feather alignment separating average work from award-winning results.

Service Area

All Phases Emmick's Award Winning Taxidermy is based in Billings and serves hunters throughout southeastern Montana and the surrounding region. Customers come from Laurel, Red Lodge, Hardin, and across the eastern Montana plains for quality work in the state's largest city. The shop's location makes it a natural stop for hunters coming off the Beartooth-Absaroka wilderness or the Crow Reservation hunting units.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'award winning' mean in taxidermy competitions?
Taxidermy competitions judge work on criteria like anatomical accuracy, hide quality, natural positioning, and finish work. Winning or placing at state or national shows means peers in the industry have evaluated and ranked the work against others.
How do I care for a bull elk cape before getting it to a Billings taxidermist?
Salt the cape heavily as soon as possible after field dressing, paying special attention to the face and ears. An elk cape is thick and large, so it needs aggressive salting to prevent slippage during transport or storage.
Can Emmick's do a full-body elk mount, not just a shoulder mount?
Full-body elk mounts are among the most technically demanding projects in big game taxidermy. Call (406) 591-6699 to discuss availability, timeline, and the significant space requirements you'll need at home before committing.
What's the turnaround time for a Montana elk or mule deer mount?
Quality big game mounts in Montana often take 12 to 18 months or more, especially at high-demand shops during and after hunting season. Award-level work takes time, and rushing the process usually shows in the final product.
Do I need to contact Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks before having an elk mounted?
You'll need to have your harvest properly tagged and documented under Montana regulations before dropping off a trophy. Keep all tags and paperwork with the specimen when you bring it in for the taxidermist's records.
Can out-of-state hunters use a Billings taxidermist for trophies taken in Montana?
Yes, many hunters from other states book with Billings shops for guided hunt trophies. There are specific regulations around transporting mounted or unmounted specimens across state lines, so confirm the legal requirements with Montana FWP before shipping anything home.
