The highest quality taxidermy with a 7-9 month turnaround.
Tip: Never call your taxidermist to check on the status of your mount before that timeframe is up.
It's good to remember that you have comissioned a piece of artwork, and it is understood how excited you are to see it completed.
Each piece is given individual attention, and you don't want the artist to rush to complete it any more than he wants to feel rushed.
On the other hand, we welcome input, and often will have our clients return to check the progress
as we are working on a custom position, pose or scenery.

Artist: Robert McMillin:One talented artist will take your trophy from beginning to finish. Rob's incredible natural gift, and years of experience bring a level of artistry commanded by few. Being a hunter and fisherman himself, he not only studies and understands anatomy and muscle structure, but also has deep sense for honoring the animal's life through attention to details like hairline, habitat, and eye and ear expression.
He truly loves this work and treats each mount as if it were his own trophy. Excellence is in the details
Unlike many who have taken up the trade and are purely self-taught, Rob attended taxidermy school in Montana, and even then impressed his instructor with his natural abilities. He entered three of his
mounts done in school in the World Taxidermy Championships and was told that his beginning work was as good or better than professionals who had been working in the trade for many years. Of course, learning never ends and Rob is constantly studying, researching, and gleaning information and tips from other experts every chance he gets, even bringing in world class taxidermists to come to his studio for tips and pointers. Rob strives for excellence with every mount.  |
Only the very highest quality materials are used in our studio. From state-of-the-art eyes with Liquid Lense Technology (TM), to award winning forms created by the best artists in the industry. We don't stop with the forms though, Rob strives to enhance each mount, working closely with the individual hide and special characteristics of the animal's anatomy to create a truly distinctive piece of artwork. The "captured moment" is what we are after, so the client's input is essential as well. We want to hear all about the hunt, the experience, and the memory or impression of the living animal that you bring to the piece. The form is just the beginning. The artistry breaths the life. We opened our doors for business in July of 2006, and Rob's dedication to perfection and extra attention to detail has earned him an exceptional reputation. Many clients have expressed that they feel they have received far more than their money's worth, and can see that their mount has a level of quality that you don't see often. Though Virginia City is only a 15 minute drive up scenic Geiger Grade, Hwy 341, we will be happy to arrange to meet you in Reno or Carson to pick up or deliver your trophy. We encourage you to visit our studio any time with a quick phone call ahead for driving directions and to be sure we're here to greet you! |
