Client Reviews
“My wife and I had a beaver prepared by Ellen but didn’t know exactly what we wanted. Ellen suggested a natural hoop design and we could not be happier with the end result!”
— Jeff, Skandia MI
“Cassidy Taxidermy is my new go-to taxidermist in Marquette. Reasonable prices, and a good turn around time”
— Gina, Negaunee MI
“I had never heard of a pack-out mount before but Ellen suggested it to me as a space efficient alternative. She really knows her stuff and it was a pleasure talking with her.
— Billy, Ishpeming MI
