Full description and what we offer

Tom Bauer started Bauer Taxidermy after studying at the Northwest School of Taxidermy, driven by a passion for hunting, fishing, and nature. His work has been showcased in museums throughout the Springfield, Missouri area.

Bauer Taxidermy handles the full spectrum of taxidermy work:

•Big game and life-size mounts
•Shoulder mounts and tanning
•Birds, mammals, reptiles, and fish
•Custom recreations and reproductions
•Animatronic displays (moving turkey mounts with sound)

What sets them apart: they make most of their own bodies, tan their own hides, and cast, mold, and sculpt custom pieces. Each mount is a one-off creation rather than assembly-line work.

Lifetime Guarantee - If any mount fails from natural causes, they replace it for free. Six-month turnaround on all projects so you can enjoy your mount while memories are fresh.
