Trophy Specialist Taxidermy is all about professionalism with a total commitment to quality customer service not found anywhere else in Michigan. This taxidermist only uses the finest manikins, fish blanks, equipment, supplies and techniques available. We provide leading edge, deer head mounts crafted to the highest taxidermy standards. In fact deer head and shoulder mounts are this taxidermists specialty, but we also turn out high quality reproduction fish mounts, antler mounts and European mounts. You can be assured that your mount will be done by a master taxidermist who really specializes in deer heads and reproduction fish.
Deer Head and Shoulder Mounts
Finally you have available awesome looking, long lasting deer head mounts at competitive commercial rates. Trophy Specialists will reproduce your deer head to exacting standards of anatomical correctness. Capes are processed entirely in-house eliminating the chance of your valuable trophy being lost or damaged by the wholesale tanneries most other taxidermists send their capes out to. Our patented tanning process beautifully preserves the hair color for an unmatched finished product. Trophy Specialist Taxidermy's tanning process also eliminates hide shrinkage, so head mounts are large and lifelike. Our finished mounts truely give customers their money's worth and are considered as investments in artistic craftsmanship.
Reproduction Fish Mounts
We produce the finest fiberglass reproduction fish mounts available anywhere and our prices represent perhaps the best bargain in the taxidermy industry, especially considering the quality of the product. These fiberglass reproductions are extremely durable too. The flexible fins and clear coat allows them to take some abuse and still look flawless. They will last a lifetime; perhaps even many lifetimes, whereas traditional skin mounts typically start deteriorating within a couple years and soon look like junk. Our fish will actually look alive forever. The process doesn't get any more simple too. You don't even have to keep the fish. Simply take several good closeup photos of your trophy fish right after it is caught. Then take a length measurement from the tip of the tail to the end of the closed lower jaw. A girth measurement taken around the widest part of the fish is useful, but not mandatory. The fish can then be released or cleaned and eaten without any other hassles. You can just deliver the photos and measurement to Trophy Specialists Taxidermy via email, US Mail, or in person and the mount will be recreated to exacting standards. When completed you can pick the mount up in person or have it delivered to your desired location (shipping and handling charges applicable). Now is that simple or what?
We can reproduce the following fish: walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, stripped bass (strippers) king salmon, coho salmon, atlantic salmon, pink salmon, sockeye salmon, steelhead, stream rainbow trout, lake trout, brown trout (lake and stream), brook trout, cutthroat trout, splake, northern pike, musky, perch, bluegill, sunfish, rock bass, catfish and more.
