Quality that speaks for itself

Monteith Taxidermy is committed to incorporating the time, artistic creativity, and anatomical accuracy deserved of each specimen, regardless of its complexity or rarity. Our goal is to recreate and preserve the animals that were perfectly designed by our Creator. Although we will never achieve that absolute perfection, we do our best to approach it. We designed our business to serve the discriminating sportsmen that desires anatomical accuracy in combination with an artistic and realistic expression. We use only the best materials and do our own tanning to maintain quality control that is not possible with many commercial tanneries. At the same time, we strive to provide the best in customer service and maintain a reasonable turnaround. We understand the anticipation of getting your specimens back home and that’s why we do our best to maintain a turnaround time of about 1 year. To maintain this turnaround, we limit the number of specimens that we receive each year. An enormous backlog of work causes most taxidermists to rush through work to simply ‘get it done’, which compromises the quality of the work—a philosophy we refuse to operate under.

Our center of operations is located in Laramie, Wyoming, but also receive specimens in Watertown and Rapid City, South Dakota. We specialize in game heads, pedestals, and life-size mammals, but also provide various other services including whole-sale tanning, antler and horn reproductions, Europeans, and various other taxidermy related services.

We at Monteith Taxidermy strive to offer you the best service possible while preserving the thrill of the pursuit with taxidermy. We are passionate about the outdoors and understand the level of effort and expense that goes into collecting a trophy, as well as the value of each trophy to its owner. We put that level of passion into each piece we produce. We take pride in our work and refuse to let anything go out our door that we wouldn’t be proud to put our name on. As we have always contended, “the quality of our work speaks for itself.”

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Until then, best of luck, and God bless.

For the thrill of the pursuit,
Kevin Monteith

“If it is morally right to kill an animal to eat its body, then it is morally right to kill it to preserve its head. A good sportsman will not hesitate as to the relative value he puts upon the two, and to get the one he will go a long time without eating the other.”

— Theodore Roosevelt, 1905
