Naples, Florida · Established 1976
Your trophy, preserved as a work of art.
For 50 years, Bucky Flowers and the Skins & Scales team have turned the memory of a hunt into lifelike mounts built to be passed down for generations.
Since 1976
A half-century of steady hands
Taxidermy is equal parts science and sculpture. It takes a close eye for nature and the patience to rebuild the pose of a living animal, feather by feather and hair by hair. That is the standard we hold on every mount that leaves the shop.
Whitetail from back home or a once-in-a-lifetime trophy from across the world — we treat each one like the memory it represents: the morning, the country, the people you shared it with.

Built by hand, finished to last
The art of taxidermy
A mount should look like it could move. We work from your photos and our own study of the animal to capture an honest, lifelike pose — experienced across North American, African, and Asian species.
Quality & detail
The difference is in the details: the set of an eye, the line of a nose, the lay of the hair. We sweat those details so your trophy still looks right decades from now.
Mounting & custom bases
Lifelike reproductions by length and species, including fish. Bases are built by fine cabinet makers — from economical hardwoods to exotic woods with skin inlays — so the finished piece is furniture you are proud to display. You choose the pose, expression, and direction to suit your room.
Shipping & CITES
We help prepare your CITES applications (the international rules protecting certain species) and guide you through the customs process. The CITES paperwork and the freight to U.S. customs are real import costs, but once your shipment clears customs in Miami, we pick it up and bring it to our USDA-approved shop at no charge.
