Your hunting trophies deserve to be preserved as memories to enjoy for years to come. As you display your hunting successes and retell your stories to friends and family, enjoy reliving your memories by ordering a professionally designed wall mount. Our taxidermy services range from life-sized deer mounts to fish replicas, various bird mounts, and more. We can position wildlife in numerous ways, and we work efficiently to professionally complete all projects in a timely manner. We pride ourselves in quality mounts that are tasteful and beautiful to act as the perfect addition to your home.

We're Smith's Taxidermy, and we've been a premier taxidermist in Gardner, IL, since 2019. We offer mammal taxidermy, full deer taxidermy, antler repair, skull cleaning, and much more. We take pride in keeping the integrity of the animal intact to celebrate its existence. We're looking forward to partnering with Will, Livingston, Grundy, and Kankakee counties to continue to provide a professional taxidermy experience. Call to book an appointment!

I strive to mount your trophy no matter how big or small it may be, just as you want it preserved. I will work with you on possible poses and the overall finished mount. Habitat and bases are available and custom built to your specifications. Turn around time is anywhere between 6 to 10 months, depending on the season. If you bring in a mount during deer season, I start the skinning, salting and tanning procedure, but do not start mounting until deer season is over. Raw takes priority over tanned, so as more animals come in at this time I must skin and salt these animals as they come in, and when deer season is over I can commit my time to mounting a professional quality trophy for you. I mount in the order an animal comes in, NOT in any personal preference! The trophy I mount for you is something I would be proud to have on my own wall, so realism is what I believe in, just the best I offer you, not how many I can do.
