When you capture a mountain lion perfectly in it's natural setting it becomes a work of art!

A pair of Gemsbok with a lot of eye appeal!

May not be largest, but few things are more memorable than someone's first elk. Thanks again for the chance to work on a special project!

Hunting season here in Idaho is in full swing! Everyone be safe out there and keep in mind we can use a couple extra elk and deer capes at the shop. If you have an extra cape bring it on by for credit on a current or future project at the shop!

A little caribou action in honor of hunting season's arrival....couldn't tell it by the 90 degree temps though

Here's a big, pretty color-phase boar headed out the door...Big thanks go out to this great hunter!

Great bull taken by a good friend! Thanks again for the opportunity to work on a special project like this...

11/12/2016

November heat wave out there, but there's still good bucks coming into the shop!

10/17/2016

Probably a once in a lifetime project I'm guessing....coyote pups at play

10/07/2016

Fall is officially here! Wishing all hunters a safe and successful 2016 hunting season. Here's a good looking bull from last year.

09/15/2016

Partial life size bears are one of my favorite projects. Big thanks Hank, Caitland and Chad!

08/07/2016

Have had the incredible honor of working on some of the largest deer taken in the area over the past year. Here is one example with more to come. Thanks so much to my loyal friends and customers!

Can anyone guess what this rattle snake had for lunch?

05/04/2016

Look at that gorgeous color on this rug! Doesn't get much better....

04/19/2016

Spring has sprung! Time for the bears...

Once in a lifetime tag from Oregon...Congratulations Mr. Bow!

02/03/2016

I'm thinking this one can just stay for a while...

12/23/2015

Many things to be thankful for this year at the taxidermy shop, but by far the most important are a great group of loyal friends and customers that keep the wheels turning here at Special Effects Taxidermy. Without you guys it's hard to tell where we'd be....
Thanks again for all your loyalty and support, you all know who you are.....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Holy Mackerel! Look what just rolled into the taxidermy shop! I believe this would qualify as a buck of a lifetime....

11/08/2015

The late mule deer hunt is putting out some big bucks. How wide would you guess this guy is?

11/06/2015

The rut is starting to kick in. I have a feeling some big bucks are gonna hit the dirt this next week!....Good luck everyone and be safe!

10/22/2015

This thing has been one serious undertaking! 3/4 of a day to manipulate the form and get the antlers locked down in a position where they weren't trying to stick through the wall....

10/07/2015

Can't tell you what an honor it has been working on this once in a lifetime project. This bear will unofficially rank as the 3rd largest ever taken in the state of Idaho. If not for his under bite, as is evident in the picture, I think he would have been the new state record with ease. Definitely a once in many lifetimes trophy!

08/05/2015

This is about as good of a group of bucks as you'll find at one time in this neck of the woods. Big thanks to these three fellas right here....

05/15/2015

Yeah this one is a tank!

Here we go! Look at this beast. Some great success.

03/24/2015

A good week's work in the shop....what is everyone's favorite mount out of these four? I'm getting a lot of different opinions already :)

03/07/2015

Newest African game to leave the shop!

Newest creation in the shop....on to the next project!
