Reflections Taxidermy

Reflections Taxidermy is a Helena, Montana taxidermy studio owned by Ryan Butler, a lifelong outdoorsman whose passion for taxidermy began in high school. With more than 20 years of big-game mounting experience and training from several established taxidermists, Butler combines technical knowledge with an artistic approach to help clients preserve memories from the field.

The studio creates mounts and related services for a range of wildlife, including deer, elk, antelope, sheep, goats, bison, moose, bears, and mountain lions. Options include European skull mounts, shoulder mounts, wall and pedestal mounts, and lifesize pieces, with habitat, woodwork, or other custom additions available for select projects. Reflections Taxidermy also offers tanned hides and bear and mountain-lion rugs. Skin preparation is available for animals that are not ready for salting, and detachable antler work is listed as an additional service. The studio’s gallery showcases examples of its work, while its published price list and downloadable agreement form help customers plan their projects.
