Do not go wherever the path may lead, instead go where there is no path and leave a trail - Emerson

What is important to you in deciding who will mount your trophy? Some people think the bigger studios must do the best work; others base their decision on the lowest price or the fastest completion time.   Simpson Taxidermy Studio is not the biggest, not the fastest or the cheapest taxidermist around, but..........        By combining the  best materials and proven techniques with  craftsmanship, experience, integrity and artistry, I deliver award winning quality work to every client and on every mount.  I have built my business by delivering the highest standard of taxidermy work at a fair price, giving honest completion estimates, offering easy payment plans, convenient hours and friendly service to everyone.     I offer what few other taxidermists can claim -  PROVEN QUALITY WORKMANSHIP  Over 30 ribbons in state & regional competitions (Awards include Masters Division, Best of Category, and numerous First & Second place ribbons) 10 year guarantee on materials & workmanship Satisfaction guarantee on every mount Professional, commercial tanning on all hides  No dry preserves, “magic” tanning creams or other cheap preservation for your trophy  MORE EXPERIENCE 30+ years in taxidermy Over 20 years full time in the same location The area's only IGT Certified Master Taxidermist Unique custom poses and artistic bases - no problem! Experienced in crating and shipping all over North America So before deciding on a taxidermist, ask yourself  Do you want your mount to be beautiful and natural looking?  Do you expect your mount to stay beautiful 20 years and more? Do you want attention to detail at every step of the process? Do you want a taxidermist that you can trust with your special trophy? Do you want a taxidermist who believes EVERY mount deserves his very best?  If  this is what YOU want from your taxidermist, then you know why thousands of sportsmen over the years have chosen Simpson Taxidermy Studio to turn their outdoor memories into wildlife art.  I hope you will join them and become another proud Simpson Taxidermy Studio client.

I have been doing taxidermy for well over 1/2 a century and now want to devote more of my time and talents to other projects and a myriad of interests.     Towards that end, I have been working with Dave Mielke to pass on the techniques and tricks I have learned over the years. He's been a quick study and has artistic talent. I will continue to help and mentor him over the next few years with the hope that he can continue to provide the same high quality work I have tried so hard to deliver to each of my clients.     Best wishes to all for health, happiness and prosperity in the coming year.    I am also closed for several weeks every summer to take some vacation time.  For safety and security reasons, I do not put that info on my answering machine or post it on the Internet.
