Taxidermy Pricing in Greeneville TN
PRICING
At Savage Creations Taxidermy, we believe in honest, transparent pricing that reflects the time, skill, and materials invested in every mount. Each project we take on is handcrafted in our Greeneville, Tennessee studio — never rushed, never outsourced. While every animal and display type varies, our pricing is designed to provide you with clear expectations and fair value for professional taxidermy work that lasts.
Our goal is simple: deliver the highest quality mounts, with no hidden costs, while maintaining the trust and satisfaction of every client.
Understanding Taxidermy Pricing
Taxidermy pricing depends on several factors, including:
Species and size of the animal
Type of mount (shoulder, pedestal, full-body, wall pedestal, etc.)
Pose complexity
Habitat base or display customization
Tanning and preservation requirements
Condition of the hide upon arrival
Because no two trophies are the same, we provide personalized quotes for every project. However, we also believe hunters should have a clear starting point when planning their next mount — which is why we outline typical pricing ranges below.
