Chad's Wildlife Studios

Chad's Wildlife Studios operates out of Missoula, Montana, a city surrounded by some of the most productive hunting and fishing terrain in the Rocky Mountain West. What makes this studio stand out is the rare combination of taxidermy craftsmanship and metal fabrication, meaning they can build custom habitat displays, wall panels, and mounting hardware that most studios simply can't offer. Missoula sits at the crossroads of several major river drainages and wilderness areas, so local hunters and anglers bring in everything from bull elk to cutthroat trout. That regional variety keeps the work here genuinely diverse.

Chad's Wildlife Studios handles the full range of taxidermy work you'd expect from a Western Montana studio, including shoulder mounts, full body mounts, fish reproductions, and bird mounts. The metal fabrication side of the business adds something most taxidermists can't offer: custom steel brackets, wall mounting systems, and fabricated habitat frames that support larger installations. Fish mounts here can be done as skin mounts or foam reproductions, depending on whether you want to release your catch. For trophy rooms or museum-style displays, the combination of mount-making and metalwork under one roof saves a lot of coordination.

Chad's Wildlife Studios serves hunters and anglers throughout the Missoula area, including Lolo, Frenchtown, and the Bitterroot Valley to the south. Customers also come from the Rattlesnake and Blackfoot corridors. If you're hunting or fishing anywhere within an hour of Missoula, this is a convenient drop-off point.
