Vanderpol Taxidermy

Vanderpol Taxidermy started off in a very simple fashion: One man, Ron Vanderpol, working in his garage to preserve the year’s trophies. From those humble beginnings in 1996, Vanderpol Taxidermy has expanded into a full-service taxidermy studio serving local, national and international clients. Family owned and operated, our preservation services aim to capture the dignity and grace of the animal in its natural environment.

World Class Taxidermy Services

The climactic moment of taking down a trophy that you have stalked for hours, perhaps days, is one that stays with a hunter for a lifetime. At Vanderpol Taxidermy, we know that feeling and strive to capture and preserve that moment in every mount we produce.

At Vanderpol taxidermy, we actively spend time as a family hunting and fishing whenever we can. We know the sense of excitement and fulfillment that follows a successful hunt. Our approach to taxidermy originates from and builds upon the respect we have for all wildlife. By applying our years of experience as a father and son team in the field to our work in the studio, we honor the beauty and strength of the animal. Our love of nature and the outdoor environment translates directly into our taxidermy projects.

As a family-owned and operated business, Vanderpol Taxidermy takes great pride in the work we do together. Our award-winning mounts and displays begin and end with our reverence for the animal. This respect is part of the family tradition we have kept through many generations. We treat each project with the utmost respect, from the moment it arrives at our studio until we ship the finished product out to you. The techniques we employ ensure your prized mount will act as a fitting tribute to the spirit of the animal and the skill of the hunter.

At Vanderpol Taxidermy, we have a strong, personal connection to the natural environment and the animals that call it home.

We have spent countless hours in the outdoors, observing all types of animals and how they relate to their surroundings. Our deep connection to nature is reflected in the quality and attention to detail of our mounts and displays. By providing master taxidermy services to hunters throughout the nation and across the world, we are able to turn our artistic talents to honoring the animal and the hunter’s connection to his or her quarry.

Our commitment to providing top-quality mounts is what sets us apart from the many hobbyists and low-quality taxidermy outfits. We are proud of our workmanship, and continually research new methods and materials to provide our clients with a truly world-class product. We create professional mounts and displays that are built to last for generations. Browse through our gallery to see how we can preserve the memories of a lifetime for you.
