Outlaw Taxidermy produces European skull mounts for deer, elk, pronghorn, bear and other big game — properly cleaned and whitened, then set on the plaque or panel you choose. Serving hunters across Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada.

- Timeless. Fits modern and traditional decor alike, and never looks dated.
- Shows the rack. Nothing distracts from the antlers or horns — the trophy itself is the display.

Frequently Asked Questions
What animals can you do European mounts on?
Any big game — deer, elk, pronghorn, bear, sheep and more. If you have the skull with antlers or horns, we can build a clean European mount.
Should I boil the skull myself?
No. Improper boiling and hardware-store bleach can crack and yellow the bone over time. Bring us the head cool or frozen, or a rough-cleaned skull, and we will finish it right.
How do you whiten the skull?
We clean the skull thoroughly and whiten it to a natural, bright finish — never a harsh bleached look that weakens the bone. The result is clean, durable and display-ready.
How long does a European mount take?
One of our faster big game options, though timing still depends on our backlog. We will give you an estimate at drop-off.
