ABOUT KD TAXIDERMY
For top quality, affordable taxidermy, look no further. Since 1987, Carla and Kevin Koeshall have owned and operated KD Taxidermy, bringing smiles to even the most demanding customers. Located in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin they operate a full-time, full service studio, specializing in mammals, birds, and African game.
WHAT WE DO
At KD Taxidermy, only the finest state-of–the art procedures and supplies are used. Unwilling to cut any corners, only the finest commercial tanners are used on all mammal mounts, as well as top quality, well defined manikins and supplies. Each bird is mounted on a specially designed wall or table habitat, of your own design. Custom designed pedestal gamehead mounts incorporating native habitats are commonplace, and each life-sized mammal comes complete with a uniquely designed native habitat base. Following these guidelines, your trophy is taken from a “mount” to a work of art.
TURNAROUND TIMES GENERALLY RUN 6 MONTHS TO 1 YEAR
   
Shoulder Mounts
North American Gameheads are the staple at KD Taxidermy, whitetail deer being the highest volume. Located in Wisconsin, we do a high volume of trophy deer mounts, many being Pope and Young/Boone and Crocket caliber. Whether it be a child's first deer or a trophy hunters Boone and Crockett deer, we give each the same special attention. We have even been commissioned by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to complete mounts for their acclaimed "Wall of Shame", a collection of illegally taken whitetail's.
Only the best tanners, forms, and supplies are used. We refuse to scrimp on quality of supplies based on cost. We offer a limited lifetime remounting warranty, should you ever be dissatisfied, and we have never gotten one back yet. Our work should provide viewing pleasure for generations, not just a few years. We use state of the art techniques and are always seeking training to better our product. Rest assured you will be satisfied, guaranteed!

Kevin has had a lifelong dream of hunting in Africa. His dream came true when he escorted two of his clients to South Africa to hunt plains game. In a quest to break into the African taxidermy field, Kevin harvested ten animals on the safari.
   
Having mounted several African animals before traveling to Africa, Kevin realized the importance of good reference and measurements. Reference photos and measurements were taken, to assist in future mounting projects.
Since this first safari, Kevin has returned to study and take a variety of other African game and has mounted everything from Duiker to Kudu. He now escorts several groups of hunters to Africa annually, providing hunt booking, travel arrangements, and top quality taxidermy services. With his extensive knowledge in the procedures involved in getting your trophies from South Africa to your wall, Kevin and his booking agency, Koeshall's World Hunting Adventures LLC is able to coordinate everything and insure proper and timely delivery.
