Our
main objective is to provide Competition Quality Big Game Taxidermy for

Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goat, Aoudad/Barbary Sheep, Russian Boar, Black
Bear, Mountain Lion, and other species of Big Game, are among the best

All of our skins are commercially tanned, by the best tanneries in the U.S., and we use only the best forms, glass eyes and materials, in mounting your trophy. We devote great time and care to the eyes, nose and ears, to make your trophy Look Alive. All of our mounts have deep nostrils in the nose, and nictitating membranes in the eyes, and are exceptionally well groomed.
Our Black Bear Rugs, and Mountain Lion Rugs, are Extra Heavy Duty, with Extra Thick Padding, and have “D” Rings on all the Feet, and the Head and Tail, for your convenience, in hanging them. Our Rugs are also, Fully Sewn, to last a long time (Not Hot-Glued, Like Some).
We usually have some Capes and Skins For Sale, such as Pronghorn Antelope, Mule Deer, Coues Whitetail Deer, Elk, Javelina and Oryx Capes, and Black Bear and Mountain Lion Hides, for Lifesize Mounts, or Rugs.

As an added service to our customers, we have a professional Big Game Meat Processor, on call, who will pick up your Big Game meat, from our Walk-In Cooler, and cut and wrap it to your specifications. He does an excellent job, and offers a discount to all of our clients.
We are located just off U.S. highway 180, in the southwest desert foothills, near the Gila National Forest, in southwest New Mexico. We are just across the border from Arizona, about 30-40 minutes from interstate # 10, and about 5 minutes from the Grant County Airport.
