Taxidermy

Services & Process

Artworks Taxidermy likely handles the full range of mount types that Colorado sportsmen and women bring in, from big game shoulder mounts and full body poses to fish reproductions and bird mounts. Full body mounts, which show the entire animal in a dynamic or natural pose, demand more time, more material, and a sharper eye for anatomy than a standard shoulder mount. Habitat displays take this a step further by incorporating natural elements like rocks, driftwood, or foliage to place the animal in a realistic scene. These larger, more complex projects are where studios with an artistic focus tend to shine.

Service Area

Artworks Taxidermy serves the Broomfield area and is conveniently located for customers coming from Westminster, Thornton, Arvada, and the Boulder County region. It's a natural fit for hunters returning from trips into the foothills and mountains to the west. Customers from across the northern Denver metro regularly make the short drive to Broomfield for quality work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a habitat display and how much does one typically cost?
A habitat display incorporates natural elements like rocks, grass, water features, or driftwood into the mount to create a scene that places the animal in its environment. Costs vary widely based on complexity and the size of the animal, but expect to pay significantly more than a standard mount since the materials and labor involved are much greater.
How should I cape a deer in the field if I want a shoulder mount?
Cut the hide behind the front shoulders and work forward, keeping as much neck skin as possible. Avoid cutting too close to the head, and don't make any cuts across the brisket that a taxidermist can't hide. When in doubt, leave more hide than you think you need and let the professional trim what's unnecessary.
Do taxidermists in Colorado work with trophy fish from mountain lakes and reservoirs?
Absolutely. Trout, walleye, bass, and pike are among the most common fish brought into Colorado studios. Whether you caught it in a reservoir near Boulder or a high-altitude lake, a taxidermist can work from either the fish itself or from photos and measurements if you practiced catch-and-release.
What's the best way to store a specimen if I can't get to the studio right away?
Double-bag the hide or whole animal in plastic, removing as much air as possible, and freeze it solid. For birds, wrap them in a damp paper towel before bagging to protect the feathers. Don't leave anything in a warm truck bed or garage for more than a few hours before freezing.
Can a taxidermist create a mount from just antlers without the hide?
Yes, antler mounting on a plaque or skull form is a popular and affordable alternative to a full shoulder mount. Some hunters prefer the minimalist look, and shed antlers are perfectly usable for this type of display even without any hide involved.
Are there taxidermists who specialize in museum-quality or display pieces for institutions?
Some studios do take on larger-scale projects for schools, nature centers, or museums that want educational displays or diorama-style exhibits. These projects typically involve longer timelines, detailed habitat work, and a higher level of anatomical accuracy. It's worth asking a studio directly about their experience with institutional work if that's what you need.
