Custom Taxidermy

Every Trophy Has a Story. We’re Here to Preserve It.

Every hunt has a story behind it. The early mornings, the preparation, the long sits, and the memories made along the way all lead to one moment. Our job is to make sure that moment lasts a lifetime.

At Lone Leaf Taxidermy, we create custom taxidermy that reflects not only the animal, but the experience behind it. Every mount is handcrafted with attention to detail and built around your vision. Whether it’s your first buck, a once-in-a-lifetime whitetail, a turkey you’ve been chasing for years, or another trophy you’re proud of, we’ll work with you to create a mount you’ll be proud to display.

No two trophies are the same, and we don’t believe they should all look the same. Every project is approached individually, giving you the opportunity to choose the pose, habitat, and details that best tell your story.

Built Around Quality, Not Quantity.

We believe quality takes time.

Every mount that leaves our shop receives the same level of care and attention, regardless of its size or score. From preserving your trophy correctly to the final finishing touches, we focus on creating lifelike taxidermy that you’ll enjoy for years to come.

We’ve built our reputation by treating every customer’s trophy with the same respect we’d expect for our own. It’s a responsibility we don’t take lightly.

Our goal has always been simple: earn your trust, exceed your expectations, and deliver a custom mount that captures the memories behind the hunt.

When you leave your trophy with us, you’re trusting someone with memories that can’t be replaced.

A Mount That’s Uniquely Yours

Whether you’re looking for a classic shoulder mount, a custom habitat scene, or something completely unique, we’ll work with you to bring your ideas to life.

Throughout the process, we’ll discuss your vision, answer your questions, and make recommendations based on our experience. We want every mount to feel personal because that’s exactly what it is.

From whitetail deer taxidermy and turkey mounts to waterfowl, fish, and other game animals, our focus is always the same: create a finished piece that looks natural, tells a story, and honors the hunt.

Proper field care is one of the most important parts of preserving your harvest. We’ll inspect your animal, discuss any concerns, and make sure everything is ready before work begins.

We’ll talk through pose options, habitat scenes, bases, and finishing details so your mount reflects the hunt exactly how you remember it.

Every specimen is professionally prepared using proven preservation techniques that help ensure your mount lasts for generations.

This is where experience matters. Every mount is carefully assembled with close attention to anatomy, proportions, expression, and realism.

Painting, grooming, detailing, and final inspection complete the process. We don’t consider a mount finished until it meets our standards.

When your mount is complete, we’ll contact you to schedule pickup and answer any questions about caring for your investment.

Whether it’s your first buck or the biggest whitetail of your life, we’ll help preserve the memory with a realistic mount that showcases every detail. From classic shoulder mounts to custom habitat scenes, every project is built around your vision.

A successful turkey hunt deserves more than photographs. We create natural-looking turkey mounts in a variety of poses that capture the excitement of the hunt.

Ducks, geese, and other waterfowl require careful attention to feather detail, anatomy, and movement. Every mount is designed to reflect the beauty of the bird in its natural environment.

Whether your trophy came from your favorite local lake or a once-in-a-lifetime fishing trip, we’ll create a mount that preserves its color, character, and memory.

Coyotes, foxes, bears, bobcats, and many other game animals are mounted with the same commitment to quality and realism that every Lone Leaf project receives.
