Expediting/Shipping to The Artistry of Wildlife

Artistry of Wildlife is an Internet Based, Artistic Taxidermy Studio.
"WE ARE" your local taxidermist. What could possibly be closer and more convenient than fingertip access via your computer, at home or in your office, or wherever you have access to the internet, we are there 24-7-365.

Our physical studio is located in the thumb of Michigan. Our clients are located nationwide. The lack of physical contact with our clients does not hinder a personal, professional relationship with our customers. The work is shipped to us. Most competent guides and outfitters will prepare, salt and ship your trophies directly to our studio for you. Either contact us before you hunt or include a packing slip with your skins stating your name, address, phone number, email address, hunting license number, tag or seal number. We will contact you the day your trophies arrive.  We maintain an ongoing communication with each and every client throughout the progression of each project. You, as the client can see the entire process on your computer screen as we design, build and create your mount. Your decisions for poses, design, presentation can be viewed at your request.

Our work is unique, custom, quality craftsmanship. This is a business, not your local hobbyist who holds your trophies captive indefinitely, we have a guaranteed turnaround time of 90 to 120 days.  Speedy service does not mean quality suffers, it means we work for a living.
