Tim Elk Hunting in New Mexico 2020

I have loved nature and the outdoors for as long as I can remember. I have spent countless hours in tree stands, ground blinds, or on a lake. Some of my best memories have to do with hunting trips that I have been on with my father, grandfather or a few of my close friends.

My father got me interested in taxidermy when I was 11 or 12 years old, and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him on different projects since then. As my love for taxidermy grew, I decided to pursue it as a full-time occupation and not just a hobby any longer. Now, with over 25 years of experience, I can honestly say that I still love hearing our clients tell us how the animal was harvested. I love the excitement in my clients’ voice and face when they drop their prized trophy off to me. But the best feeling is when they come back to pick up their mount and can’t stop smiling.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have through my contact page. You can also reach me by email at: pattonstaxidermyshopllc@gmail.com or call during business hours at (513) 535-9067. I will return your call or email within one business day.

Happy Hunting,
Tim Patton

I first gained a love for the art of taxidermy while completing a bachelor’s degree and decided post-graduation to partake in an apprenticeship full-time. After 9 months of instruction with Masters Award Winner Tom Fix, I was able to bring my skills to several different Midwestern markets.

My area of specialization is in avian taxidermy. Signature features of my work include careful feather placement and expressive poses. Every bird is unique, and each mount should reflect that. It would be an honor for me to bring your vision to life.

Please browse the gallery photos for examples of some of the mounts I have created. If you would like to work together, use the contact and appointment pages. You may also email the studio directly at pattonstaxidermyshopllc@gmail.com or call Tim during business hours at (513) 535-9067. We will respond within one business day.

With wings wide and winds favorable,
