Many of these trophies are on display in our showroom, located on the northwest side of Chicago, within easy distance from downtown. We are a well established taxidermy shop, serving Chicago

land hunters, collectors, decorators and everyone in between for more than 35 years. We provide custom prop making, traditional tanning and trophy mounting, as well as restoration of damaged or aged trophies. Whether your interest is in a rug, shoulder-mount, or life-size mount, you will be guided by the expert professional opinion of taxidermist proprietor Ted Nazarowski or his team lead by head taxidermist Peter Nazarowski.
