Gene Smith - Best in World WhitetailA Different Approach

There are plenty of taxidermy shops in the area. We have discovered the need for extraordinary custom work with the capability to handle animals that come from anywhere in the world. We can complete most pieces in eight to ten months, and have the expertise and experience necessary to complete your most challenging projects.

Animal Works is not your average commercial taxidermy shop. We are a taxidermy art studio devoted to custom and specialized recreation of hunting trophies. Each and every mount is a reflection of the numerous hours spent on detail and life-like recreation of anatomy and expression. We just don’t mount the animal we bring it back to life in an original way that each client wants to remember his trophy.

All of our materials from the glass eyes to glue are the best that can be obtained and every skin is commercially tanned so the memory of the trophy can be passed down to later generations. All while still keeping the same life-like appearance it had the day it left the studio.

We provide estimates by phone once we come to an understanding of how each hunter would like their trophy memorialized. We have a wide variety of mannikins in stock from Alaskan brown bears to Zebras. Once an estimate is given, the hunter may be invited to come and pick out a pose and be able to discuss any custom expression or variation he would like.
