Taxidermists in Natrona County, Wyoming

Natrona County is a central hub for hunters coming off the Laramie Range or out of the Shirley Basin. After hauling an elk or pronghorn back to Casper, you need a reliable place to handle the trophy work. The dry climate here is good for preservation, but you still need to get your animal to a professional quickly to prevent spoilage, especially during the early season heat.

The current directory includes local options in Casper like EuroCrown Skullworks. These shops handle the cleaning and mounting process so you don't have to deal with the mess at home. Whether you need a standard shoulder mount or skull cleaning, you can find a local professional to finish your season's work.

Using taxidermists in Natrona County

A taxidermist takes your cape and antlers, preps and tans the hide, then mounts the animal on a form. Most shops want the cape caped out and frozen, or the whole head delivered cold and unfrozen within a day or two of the kill.

What to ask before you commit

  • What is your current turnaround time, in months?
  • Do you tan in-house or send hides out?
  • What deposit do you require, and is it applied to the final price?
  • Can I see finished mounts of the same species?
  • How should I care for the cape before I bring it in?

What it usually costs

Shoulder mounts commonly run several hundred to well over a thousand dollars depending on species, form and finish work. European mounts are typically the least expensive option. Deposits of 30-50% are standard.

Timing matters

Get the cape cold fast. Do not salt or freeze a cape you plan to have mounted without asking the shop first — hair slip from a warm hide is the single most common ruined mount.
