About T&K Wildlife Taxidermy

T&K Wildlife Taxidermy is based in Plains, Montana, a small town in Sanders County along the Clark Fork River corridor. This part of Montana is serious hunting country, with access to elk, deer, black bear, and upland birds across the surrounding Cabinet Mountains and Flathead National Forest terrain. Plains sits between Missoula and the Idaho panhandle, making it a logical stop for hunters coming off remote hunts in some of Montana's most rugged back country. A local studio here means your trophy doesn't have to travel far before it's in qualified hands.

Services & Process

T&K Wildlife Taxidermy provides traditional taxidermy services suited to the game that's actually harvested in the Sanders County area. Shoulder mounts for deer, elk, and bear are among the most common requests, along with full body mounts for smaller predators like coyote and fox. Bird mounts, including wild turkey and grouse, are also a regular part of the work here. Skull cleaning and antler mounting round out the service list for hunters who want a clean, durable display piece without a full hide mount.

Service Area

T&K Wildlife Taxidermy serves the Plains area and the broader Sanders County region, including Thompson Falls and Hot Springs. Hunters traveling through from the Idaho border or coming off hunts in the Cabinet Mountains will find Plains a practical stop. The studio is reachable from communities along Highway 200.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game animals does T&K Wildlife Taxidermy most commonly work with?
Given the location in Sanders County, deer, elk, and black bear are the most frequent. The studio also handles smaller predators, upland birds, and wild turkey from the surrounding region.
Is skull cleaning available as a standalone service?
Yes, skull cleaning is a popular option for hunters who want a display piece without committing to a full hide mount. It's also a good choice for younger hunters who want to preserve their first deer or elk.
How do I get a quote for my mount?
Call (406) 242-0072 to describe your animal and what type of mount you're considering. Pricing varies by species and mount style, and a phone conversation usually covers the basics quickly.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a full body mount?
A shoulder mount covers the head, neck, and upper chest, which is the most common option for deer and elk. A full body mount preserves the entire animal and requires significantly more time and materials.
How long should I expect to wait for my finished mount?
Turnaround times in the taxidermy industry typically run six months to a year for most mounts, sometimes longer during heavy hunting seasons. Ask for a current estimate when you drop off your specimen.
Can I drop off a frozen cape if I can't get there right after my hunt?
Yes, freezing your cape is a perfectly acceptable option if you can't get to the studio immediately. Make sure it's wrapped tightly with no exposed areas to prevent freezer burn before storing it.
