Preserving memories is the essence of taxidermy for hunters and fishermen. Capturing the excitement and intensity of that experience, both realistically and artistically, makes quality taxidermy the ultimate way to keep those memories alive.
About Us
Bill Overbeek has providing taxidermy services for hunters and fishermen for over 40 years. As new techniques and materials become available, they are incorporated into the mounts, ensuring highest quality while managing costs and turn-around time.
Bill’s background as a life-long hunter and fisherman has provided countless opportunities to observe wildlife, and this experience translates into capturing natural behaviors and expressions into taxidermy. Spending time in the field, studying wildlife all over North America and Africa, has given him the perspective that makes the difference between ordinary and exceptional trophy taxidermy. There’s no substitute for being right there in the field to photograph reference details of a freshly-taken kudu in Africa, Alaska grayling, or Florida alligator.
Bill’s degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Management required extensive study in wildlife anatomy and physiology, and provides a fundamental understanding of how mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish are put together, how they move and behave, and this understanding contributes to accuracy and realism in his mounts. Anatomical correctness should be taken for granted, and Bill makes sure you can.
Services
Delivery time varies depending on the type of mount, but alligator mounts are typically completed within 6 to 8 months.
Alligators: We specialize in alligator taxidermy, and offer the best quality, most innovative, and realistic alligator mounts around. Alligators make exceptional trophies, and having spent many nights in the Florida swamps, we know what it’s like seeing a gator come out of the water on the end of your line (the reference photos we get are phenomenal!), and we strive to recreate that in our alligator mounts.
We make a variety of items out of gator feet and hides, and welcome those ideas, but sorry, we prefer not to deal with unnatural novelties like “standing gators” and “football gators”.
