Elusive Creatures Taxidermy

Elusive Creatures Taxidermy in Post Falls handles the mounts that demand precision: predators, big game, and specialty pieces that capture the essence of your hunt. Their work placed in multiple categories at the 2023 National Taxidermists Association Competition.

• •Shoulder mounts - Head and neck focus, the standard display
• •Half-size mounts - Scaled versions for space constraints
• •Life-size mounts - Full-body anatomically accurate poses
• •Rug mounts - Bears and cougars as striking floor displays with lifelike head detail
• •Restoration - Breathing new life into older pieces

Specialties include predators (mountain lion, bear, wolf), big game (elk, deer), small game (fox, bobcat), and custom work.

Every animal undergoes thorough inspection for eye shape, lash angles, pupil alignment, and natural ear hair growth patterns.

They use ear liners instead of bondo to create thin, realistic ear structures. This isn't just standard taxidermy—it's the kind of attention that makes the difference between "nice" and "people ask about it every time."

Customers describe mounts that bring out the best in the animal—the way a buck's shoulders look right, the expression that captures what made the hunt memorable. They also offer taxidermy classes for those interested in learning the craft.
