Common Questions
Before you call.
How much does taxidermy cost?
Pricing depends on species, size, pose, and condition of the animal, so we provide a custom written quote for every project rather than publish a fixed price sheet. Send a few reference photos when you reach out and we will come back with a number - final pricing may vary based on custom requests, habitat scenes, or repair work.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A deposit is required to begin work and secure your spot in our production schedule. The remaining balance is due upon completion before pickup or shipping.
Can you work with animals harvested out of state or country?
Yes, but additional costs may apply for shipping, permits, and handling depending on regulations.
What happens if I don’t pick up my mount?
Completed mounts must be picked up within a specified timeframe. Storage fees may apply after that period.
Is shipping available?
Yes. We can arrange secure shipping. Costs vary based on size, weight, and destination.
Have something specific in mind?
Call John Louw or send a note with your animal and a few reference photos.
