TRACKING YOUR MOUNTS PROGRESS
We utilize a program called Mount Manager for tracking all mounts. This is a new, state of the art system that benefits both the hunter and the taxidermist. The hunter portal gives active updates on the stages of your mount along with notifications via e-mail (texting coming soon!). It has the ability to submit reference photos and the customer can submit change orders as well.
When you drop off your mount, we'll gather your information and you'll get an e-mail to create an account - all you have to do is create a password. Everything is tracked for each mount from the species, type of mount, pictures upon intake, pose/positioning, and anything custom that was discussed. Each mount is assigned a QR code tag to make it easier for looking up customer and mount information. A simple scan with our QR code reader and all of the information pops up. This is all digital and in one location making it a one stop shop for each and every mount! The notifications are through e-mail, so a valid e-mail address will be required until the texting notification system is rolled out. Click below to learn more about Mount Manager and it's features.
J2 Taxidermy did an outstanding job on my full-size black bear mount. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are incredible, and it turned out even better than I imagined. Every time I walk past it in my home, it takes me right back to the mountain and the memories from that hunt.
​
You trust a taxidermist with more than just an
animal - you trust them with an experience you'll want to remember for the rest of your life. J2 absolutely delivered. I couldn't recommend them more.

STORIES FROM
THE HUNTERS WE SERVE
ABOUT US
Your story is why we're here. But if you'd like to know ours, here's where it began!
Our company began in 2012 in a garage with a turkey fryer and a handful of friends' skulls. Over the years, we've grown into a full-service taxidermy studio, serving hundreds of hunters and completing thousands of pieces each year. The best part of what we do is still the same as it was on day one; hearing customers tell the story behind their trophy with that unmistakable excitement still in their eyes.
​
Whether it's a European mount, shoulder mount, life-size piece, or another treasured trophy, we understand the memories and experiences behind it. Our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional craftsmanship and preserving every trophy with the care and attention it deserves, creating a piece you'll be proud to display for generations.
