Backcountry Taxidermy Studio

Back Country Taxidermy Studio started as Dale Horton's childhood passion and turned into a career spanning decades. He picked up taxidermy at age 9 with a correspondence course from Northwestern School of Taxidermy, practicing on pigeons his brother shot. After technical college and years of part-time work, word of his skill spread—friends of friends requesting whitetail mounts and largemouth bass—until demand forced the studio to go full-time.

• •Game birds (pheasants, wood ducks)
• •Whitetail deer
• •Freshwater fish (largemouth bass)
• •Custom wildlife preservation

Dale saw taxidermy as a way to preserve that beauty for years to come.

Based in the lower level of Paddock Lake Sporting Goods on Highway 50 since opening full-time. Member of the Wisconsin Taxidermists Association and National Taxidermists Association—credentials that matter when you're trusting someone with your trophy.
