Northern Wind Taxidermy

Northern Wind Taxidermy is a veteran-owned taxidermy business serving hunters in the Grand Junction, Colorado area. The website describes the shop as located in Fruita and lists an address on East Main Street in Grand Junction. Since 2012, the business has helped customers preserve hunting trophies and wildlife through professional taxidermy and careful attention to detail.

Its services include European, shoulder, and lifesize mounts, along with cleaning services. The team works with a variety of animals from North America, Africa, and New Zealand, and can assist clients with caping, an important step in preparing an animal for mounting. Customers are encouraged to keep hides cold and out of direct sunlight before bringing them to the shop.

Northern Wind Taxidermy aims to complete mounts within 10 to 14 months, with the goal of returning trophies before the next hunting season. A 50 percent deposit is required before work begins, and payment plans can be made afterward; finished animals are released once paid in full.
