Gobbler Ridge Taxidermy

Successful trapping season with the first batch of raccoons out of the tan.

First Illinois gun season has blessed our family in so many ways. Several freezers full of good aim!

We are very thankful for all the hunters that have trusted us with their trophies and all those we are looking forward to.

See ya for round two in a couple weeks ✌️

Just a reminder for gun season, we are offering European/shoulder mounts and hide tanning. Euros are $100 and Shoulders are $750.
There is potential for tanned capes also. I’d be interested in picking up a few that are nicer, double throat patches etc.

We can also do repairs and replacements on existing mounts. If you need help caping or have questions let us know.

We pick up and drop off for free from Howes Processing out of Cowden

Good luck to all the youth hunters this weekend! Be safe and shoot straight!

Updated for the 2025/2026 season, now offering shoulder mounts! Taking a very limited number.
Bring in the head with a full cape for a discount (we keep the cape)

Finally had time to work in the shop

Want to add something to your fan mount plaque? Want to try making your own wing bone call but need the bones clean to do it? Give me a call!

Hanging available in our walk in cooler.
$20 a deer, can hold beef, hogs etc for additional cost. Message to reserve a spot for shotgun season!

European mounts cleaned and whitened for the 24/25 season $50.

Good luck to all the youth hunters this weekend! Shoot straight and remember your firearm safety!

Good luck to all the hunters out there! It’s time where all the hard work, planning, and practice should all come together. Remember your harness and to stay safe!

Another European mount out the door. Thanks for your business Josh!
