Services & Process

Precision Wildlife Art focuses on producing technically accurate, lifelike mounts for hunters and collectors in the Reno area. Shoulder and pedestal mounts for big game require meticulous form selection and hide preparation to achieve correct muscle definition and natural eye placement. The studio likely handles a range of Nevada's most-hunted species, including mule deer, antelope, elk, and upland birds. Skull cleaning and antler mounting are practical services that complement full custom work, giving clients options at every price point.

Precision Wildlife Art is based in Reno, NV, and takes clients from across northern Nevada and the eastern Sierra region.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'precision' actually mean when applied to taxidermy work?
Precision in taxidermy means paying close attention to anatomical accuracy, from the shape of the skull beneath the skin to the exact placement of the eyes and the way the ears sit naturally on the head. It also means careful paint matching and finishing work that replicates the animal's natural coloring and texture.
How do I evaluate the quality of a taxidermist's work before committing?
Ask to see a portfolio of completed mounts, ideally in person, and look for natural eye placement, tight seams, and realistic skin texture around the nose and ears. Those areas are where shortcuts show up most clearly in lower-quality work.
Can a Nevada taxidermist legally handle all native species?
Licensed taxidermists can work with legally harvested game animals, but certain species, particularly migratory birds and some raptors, are regulated under federal law. You'll need to provide proof of legal harvest for regulated species, and a reputable studio will walk you through what documentation is required.
What size wall space do I need for a full shoulder mount of a Nevada mule deer?
A typical mule deer shoulder mount needs a wall space of roughly 24 to 30 inches wide and 24 to 36 inches tall depending on the antler spread and mounting panel size. Talking through your room dimensions with the taxidermist before selecting a form helps avoid surprises when you pick up the finished piece.
How does a 5-star taxidermist in Reno handle a high-scoring trophy differently?
High-scoring trophies often come with added pressure because the antlers or horns are exceptional and the client's expectations are proportionally higher. A detail-focused studio will take extra time with measurements, form selection, and finishing to make sure the mount matches the quality of the animal.
What payment and deposit structure is typical for taxidermy work in Nevada?
Most taxidermists ask for a deposit of 30 to 50 percent at drop-off, with the balance due at pickup. This is standard practice because supplies and labor costs are incurred throughout the project, not just at the end, so asking about payment terms upfront keeps everyone on the same page.
