Important Update from Custom Wildlife Mounts
After a lot of consideration, I will be making some changes to how Custom Wildlife Mounts operates moving forward.
For the past seven years I have worked seven days a week, dedicating myself fully to this business and to producing mounts my customers can be proud of. I’m extremely grateful for the support this community has shown me and for everyone who has trusted me with their trophies.
However, everyone deserves time to enjoy life and family, and after a lot of reflection I’ve made the decision to narrow the focus of my shop. This decision did not come easy, but it is necessary to maintain quality and a sustainable workload.
Over the years I have tried to accommodate nearly every type of project that came through the door. In doing so, the workload has occasionally become larger than what one shop can efficiently manage, and some projects have taken longer than the turnaround time I hold myself to. Rather than continue stretching the shop too thin, I’ve made the decision to focus strictly on the areas where I can provide the highest level of quality and consistency.
Shop Focus Moving Forward
Custom Wildlife Mounts will only be accepting:
• Big Game Shoulder Mounts / Pedestal Mounts
• European Mounts
• Bird Mounts
The shop will no longer accept:
• Fish mounts
• Full body mammal mounts
• Repair work
• Any projects outside of shoulder mounts, pedestal mounts, European mounts, or birds
If you already have work in the shop that falls into these categories, you are completely covered and I will finish those projects as agreed.
If you have a project that falls outside of what the shop will be accepting moving forward, I will be happy to refer you to someone who can better accommodate your needs.
Deposit & Pickup Policy
Effective immediately:
• A 50% deposit is required to place your mount in line
• Customers will be expected to pick up completed mounts promptly
• After 30 days, a $3 per day storage fee will apply to mounts that remain in the shop
2026 Pricing Adjustments
Due to increasing supply and shipping costs, there will also be price adjustments beginning in 2026. I wanted to give everyone advance notice so customers can plan accordingly.
These changes apply to all future work, and I will not be making exceptions.
Moving forward, the goal is simple: focus on big game mounts and bird work, take on fewer projects, and deliver the highest level of craftsmanship possible on every piece that leaves the shop.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the shop over the years. I truly appreciate your trust and support.
