Mount Options

Shoulder Mounts

Includes the front shoulder forward in various positions. We can customize shoulder mounts into any position needed to fit your trophy room or home.

Custom Habitats

Habitats have become a very important part of our business. An animal displayed in a natural setting is much more pleasing to view. Your imagination is the limit. We have extensive experience with habitats and we've learned from the best in the industry. Were capable of building mountains, boulders, trees. Photos of your hunting area can be a great help for this. If your habitat matches the habitat you hunted in it can really add to the enjoyment of your piece!!

Rugs & Wall Hangings

We offer anything from a wall hanging coyote pelt to a fully finished bear rug. There are many options to explore for rugs. We can also do flat African floor rugs, zebras are the most common rug in this style.
