Backcountry Custom Taxidermy

Backcountry Custom Taxidermy in Anchorage, Alaska is geared toward hunters who take their trophies seriously. The name signals a focus on the kind of remote, wilderness hunts that Alaska is famous for, from Dall sheep in the Alaska Range to grizzly in the Brooks Range. No MountChief rating is posted yet, so calling (907) 980-6423 directly is the best way to discuss your specific project and see what they specialize in. Anchorage sits at the crossroads of Alaska's major hunting regions, making it a logical stop whether you're heading out or coming back from the backcountry.

Custom taxidermy means the work is shaped around your specific animal and your vision for the final display, rather than picking from a generic catalog of poses. Skull cleaning services, including beetle cleaning or boiling methods, produce crisp, museum-quality skull displays that show off antler mass and horn structure. Antler mounting and European skull mounts are popular for hunters who want a clean, space-efficient alternative to a full shoulder mount. For those who want the full presentation, custom habitat displays can incorporate natural materials from the actual hunt location, making the piece a more complete story of the experience.

Backcountry Custom Taxidermy serves clients throughout Anchorage and across Alaska's vast hunting regions. Hunters returning from the Brooks Range, the Alaska Peninsula, and Prince William Sound area regularly drop off their capes and hides in Anchorage before flying home. The shop is set up to work with out-of-state hunters too, handling shipping logistics for finished mounts delivered to the Lower 48 or internationally.
