Great TURKEY MOUNTS! SHOULDER MOUNTS! FULL BODY! DUCKS! SORRY I DO NOT DO FISH, REPTILES AND PETS.

GREAT MOUNTS!

BEST PRICES!

LOOK WHAT THIS GUY SAID: "Frank, I received the turkey on 01/28/10. The turkey was in great shape, it's very nice and huge. I found just the spot for it. You do excellent work, this turkey is beautiful. If anyone is looking for any taxidermy items I will give them your web-site information. Thank you so much, Michael Purdy, Belleville, IL-62223."

nr.1: Sorry I did not have much time to update this site recently, but I am doing it now in August 2018. People call to ask if I am still doing taxidermy. The answer is YES. I just built a new shop and I would like to start doing taxidermy full time. So bring them over, they will be done quicker (whatever they are). Do not forget to bring also the turkey or the duck you put in the freezer 7 (or 17) years ago and forgot about. They may be still good to mount.

nr.2: Finnaly I added two new sections here: FOR SALE and HUNTING PICS. Have a look.

nr.4: Turkey fans with complete reconstruction. No fat, no meat to spoil, they will last forever. $100 fan and beard. $120 fan + beard + feet/ price includes wood panel.

Hello!. Welcome to my site. My name is Frank. PHONE NUMBER: 904-860-8191, EMAIL: fcastiov@gmail.com or fcastiov@yahoo.com

I started mounting birds in 1975, when in high school. Right here you can see one of the first birds I mounted.

Since then I mounted probably a few thousand more. I am a professional wildlife biologist, a hunter and a taxidermist. After studying animals for 5 years in Europe (for a medical veterinary degree) and 3 more years in Canada (master's degree in biology) I kind of have an idea about animal anatomy.

What you can get with me is a nice mount for less than the average price. This includes the panels for shoulder mounts and all the woodwork for the birds and small mammals. The wood is nicely finished with polyurethane and the back is professionally lined with felt so it will not damage your wall. Also, I do detailed work on all deer heads, like veins on the face and neck muscles. Here is a recent picture of me finishing a deer:

And here is a friend from Canada who came to learn how to mount turkeys:

Thank you for visiting and please take a few moments to look at some of my recently completed work.

Price List

Just for you to get an idea, here is the price for the most common mounts:

 Deer shoulder mounts - $420 - includes a nice panel as seen in the pictures. Ready to go on your wall, or $400 with no panel.

 Small life-size mammals - $450 (including pedestals or bases).

 Turkeys (standing, flying, gobbling) - $450

              (strutting) - $500 - all woodwork included

 Ducks and upland game birds - $180 with panels or bases as seen in the pictures.

 Please contact me for any other price information. Most likely I will beat all other offers.
