Midwest Custom Taxidermy

Midwest Custom Taxidermy is based in Hartford, South Dakota, a small community just west of Sioux Falls that puts it squarely in the heart of the region's farming and hunting landscape. Hartford sits in Lincoln County, where row crop fields, shelterbelts, and wetland potholes create outstanding habitat for pheasant, whitetail deer, and waterfowl. Being in a smaller town rather than the city often means a more personal experience and shorter wait times. Reach the studio at (605) 366-7061 to talk through your project.

As a studio in a rural agricultural community, Midwest Custom Taxidermy almost certainly handles a high volume of deer shoulder mounts and pheasant work, the two most common requests from hunters in this part of South Dakota. Custom work, as the name implies, likely means they're willing to take on specific pose requests, unusual species, or detailed habitat displays rather than sticking to standard catalog options. Antler mounting on decorative plaques, rug mounts for bear or mountain lion, and fish mounts from regional lakes and the Big Sioux River round out the probable service list. Skull cleaning for whitetail and coyote is also common at studios serving this farming region.

Midwest Custom Taxidermy serves Hartford and the surrounding Lincoln and Minnehaha County area, drawing hunters from across the Sioux Falls western suburbs and rural communities nearby. Customers from Harrisburg, Tea, Crooks, and Dell Rapids are all within a short drive. The studio's location along the I-90 corridor makes it easy to access from both the city and the broader southeastern South Dakota prairie.
