Golden Ridge Taxidermy

Golden Ridge Taxidermy is based in Colorado Springs, a city of nearly half a million people that sits at the base of Pikes Peak and draws hunters from across the southern Front Range. Colorado Springs is one of Colorado's busiest hubs for hunting traffic, given its proximity to Pike National Forest, the Arkansas River corridor, and multiple units managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. This studio has collected 3 reviews to date, giving prospective customers a starting point for due diligence. As with any taxidermist, it's worth asking to see a portfolio before committing your trophy.

Golden Ridge covers the taxidermy needs that Colorado Springs hunters and anglers bring through the door most often. Shoulder mounts for big game like deer, elk, and pronghorn are the bread and butter of any local shop, involving careful cape preparation, form fitting, and detailed finishing work on eyes, nose, and ears. Fish mounts, whether skin or reproduction, recreate catches from local waters including Elevenmile Reservoir and the South Platte drainage. Rug mounts for bear and other predators are another option, turning a flat hide into a display-ready piece with a finished backing.

Golden Ridge Taxidermy serves customers throughout Colorado Springs and the broader El Paso County area. Hunters from Fountain, Security, and the south side of town are within easy reach, as are clients coming down from the Woodland Park and Divide areas after hunting the Rampart Range. The studio's Springs location makes it accessible from most of the southern Front Range.
