Taxidermy Mounting Challenge

26 Jan 2024

Ever wondered what it takes to be a taxidermist?

The Taxidermy Mounting Challenge pits one of our experienced Mounters against one of our creative designers in mounting an Impala shoulder mount.

The same species, the same materials, the same tools.

Follow along and see how these two faired in the ultimate taxidermy contest. We share the good, the bad and the ugly to give you a bit more insight into what it takes to be a word class taxidermist.

This is an epic showdown you don’t want to miss.

"To Potential Clients of Splitting Image Taxidermy. Please allow this letter to serve as a recommendation of Splitting Image Taxidermy, which mounted the trophies from my three safaris. In each case, I was very pleased with the quality of the taxidermy work, the timelines in which the trophies were completed, and the reasonableness of the charges. I have found Douglas Cockcroft, Warrick and all of those associated with Splitting Image Taxidermy to be very responsive, honest, straightforward and a pleasure to deal with. The quality of the taxidermy performed by Splitting Image Taxidermy is superb, very detailed and very lifelike. Splitting Image Taxidermy is very familiar with the necessary permitting and shipping requirements involved in exporting trophies from South Africa to the United States, including exporting animals requiring CITIES permits. Please accept this as my absolute and unqualified recommendation of Splitting Image Taxidermy. Sincerely yours,"

Roger A. Key Mr.
