Your Closest Taxidermist in Pleasant Prairie
Thirteen minutes from Pleasant Prairie to the shop on 72nd Street. Drop off on the way home from the boat launch or the tree stand.
Pleasant Prairie is the closest community to the shop outside Kenosha itself. Hunters and anglers from the village, Somers, and Bristol can drop off an animal and be home in half an hour.
The Pike River runs through the area and is a Lake Michigan salmon stocking site, and the Kenosha harbor launch is minutes away. Fish mounts from the lake, whitetails from the farmland west of I-94, and turkeys from the spring season all come in from Pleasant Prairie.
Craig has been mounting animals for over thirty years from this shop. Every mount is his own work, start to finish.
