About Shiloh Taxidermy

Shiloh Taxidermy operates out of Centennial, Colorado, a community south of Denver that sits close to some of the state's best hunting and fishing territory. With a perfect 5-star rating, this studio brings a high level of care to every project that comes through the door. Colorado hunters pursuing elk, mule deer, and pronghorn along the Front Range need a taxidermist who understands the regional game, and local studios like this one are built around that exact clientele. It's a small but well-regarded operation worth contacting for your next trophy.

Taxidermy

Services & Process

Shiloh Taxidermy handles the core work hunters and anglers care most about, including shoulder mounts, full body mounts, and fish reproductions. Shoulder mounts involve careful hide preparation, form selection, and detailed finish work around the eyes and nose to capture a lifelike expression. Fish mounts, whether skin mounts or replicas, require precise color matching to preserve the look of a fresh catch. Skull cleaning using beetles or maceration is also a common request from Colorado big game hunters who want a clean euro mount displayed at home or in a cabin.

Service Area

Shiloh Taxidermy serves customers in Centennial and the broader south Denver metro area, including Highlands Ranch, Parker, and Lone Tree. Hunters from the surrounding Douglas and Arapahoe County areas regularly bring their trophies here. It's a convenient stop for anyone coming off a hunt along the Palmer Divide or returning from the high country.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my animal should I bring it in?
You should get the hide or carcass to the taxidermist as quickly as possible, ideally within a day or two of the kill. In warmer months, slipping or hair loss can start within hours if the animal isn't kept cool, so caping it out and refrigerating or freezing the hide is the safest move if there's any delay.
What does a shoulder mount for a mule deer typically cost in Colorado?
Prices vary by studio and the complexity of the pose, but shoulder mounts for mule deer in the Colorado Front Range area typically range from around $500 to $900 or more. It's best to call ahead and discuss your specific cape and pose preferences to get an accurate quote.
How long does a typical mount take to complete?
Most big game shoulder mounts take anywhere from six months to over a year depending on the studio's current workload and the time of year you bring it in. Fish and bird mounts sometimes turn around faster, but it really depends on the complexity and how busy the studio is during hunting season.
Can you work with a deer hide that was frozen for several months?
Yes, a properly frozen hide can absolutely be worked with even months after the harvest. The key is that it was frozen quickly and without freezer burn, and that it's thawed carefully before the taxidermist begins the preparation process.
Do you offer euro skull mounts for elk or deer?
Euro mounts are a popular and more affordable option compared to full shoulder mounts. The skull is cleaned using beetles, boiling, or maceration, then whitened and finished for display. Many hunters prefer them for their clean, modern look.
What should I do if I harvested a fish I want mounted but I'm far from home?
If you can't get to a taxidermist right away, take detailed photos from multiple angles and measurements of the length and girth, then freeze the fish wrapped tightly in a wet cloth inside a plastic bag. Many studios can work from a frozen fish, and the photos help match colors accurately.
