Big Beard Taxidermy preserves your most meaningful trophies and memories with meticulous artistry — right here in northern Maine.
Handcrafted work — no machines shortcuts, just skilled hands and patience.
Locally owned and operated in Smyrna Mills — we know these woods.
Memories preserved — your trophy becomes a family heirloom for generations.
From field to finished mount, every piece receives individual attention and time-honored technique.
Full-body mounts, shoulder mounts, and head mounts — each sculpted and dressed to life-like perfection using traditional methods.
Brought your grandfather's mount down from the attic? We restore faded fur, repair stands, and breathe new life into aged pieces.
Bird collections, fish mounts, antler displays, and unique commissions — tell us what you envision and we'll make it real.
Not sure what's possible? Bring your specimen in for a free evaluation and we'll discuss options, timelines, and pricing.
Located right off Highway 212 in Smyrna Mills — easy to find, easy to drop off, and close enough that you're not shipping your trophy across the state.
This isn't a factory — it's a craft. Every mount gets personal attention because we genuinely care about the stories behind each specimen.
A selection of work from our shop — each one a labor of love.
Northern Maine
Proudly serving hunters, collectors, and families since day one.
Big Beard Taxidermy is a family-run shop in the heart of Smyrna Mills, just off State Highway 212. We grew up hunting these woods, fishing these rivers, and respecting the animals that make northern Maine what it is.
That respect shows up in every mount we create. We don't rush the work. We don't cut corners. Every skin is prepped, every form is sculpted, and every pose is set with the same care we'd want for our own trophies.
Whether you're bringing in a buck you've tracked for three seasons, a trout that got away from nobody, or a faded mount from your father's den — we treat it like it matters. Because it does.
Drop by the shop or give us a call. We'll walk you through the process — no pressure, no surprises.
Have a question about a mount, a restoration, or pricing? Reach out however you prefer — we respond fast.
