Dead Nuts Taxidermy

Mick is very passionate about everything that comes thru his door! The amount of time he spends making sure every detail is captured and done to what people want done is incredible! You can tell he doesn't do this for the money he does this for the pride in making everyone's memories come to life in his mounts! I have had a European mount and a shoulder mount done by Mick and I can not rave enough about how awesome he is! I tell everyone that I know and talk to, to go see Mick at Dead Nuts Taxidermy to get the best mounts and best service!

Dead Nuts Taxidermy in Union City did an outstanding job on my first buck. The craftsmanship is top-tier—clean caping, excellent hide prep, lifelike form, and a perfect antler set. The detail and finish truly bring the mount to life. Couldn’t be happier with the quality and professionalism. Highly recommend to anyone looking for true, high-quality taxidermy.

Mick at Dead Nuts Taxidermy is incredibly talented and knowledgable! He did an amazing job with my first wall hanger! Turn around time was about 11 months but I would have waited 5 years for how it turned out! Will most definitely be recommending him!

I’m blown away with the realistic details that brought my deer mount to life! Unbelievable job! Well worth the wait time and money for the best mount that I own to date! Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mick at Dead Nuts Taxidermy on a very meaningful project—the preservation of the skull and hide of a five-year-old heifer from my farm. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into both the skull and the hide truly exceeded my expectations. The skull was meticulously cleaned and whitened, preserving the natural integrity and character of the animal while giving it a striking, dignified presence. Every ridge, suture, and curve was treated with care, revealing an artist who understands anatomy as deeply as aesthetics. The hide, too, was treated with masterful precision. The tanning was flawless—soft, durable, and rich with the natural markings that told the story of the animal’s life. It’s clear this isn’t just a technical job for Mick; it’s an art form. The final product is not only a tribute to the heifer but also a testament to the artist’s respect for the animal and the craft. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. If you’re looking for someone who combines artistry, skill, and heart in their taxidermy work, look no further. This is more than preservation—it’s legacy work.
