I brought in a musky and northern pike to get restored. Both had been hanging on the wall at my…read moreparents' house for almost 50 years. Arctic Circle Taxidermy did a fantastic job restoring the fish to their original quality. This included the repair, replacement and/or repainting of many of the fins and cleaning the fish, all to "bring their looks back to life." They did a superb job!! I now live in CT. Arctic went to great effort to ensure these fish were carefully packaged for the journey east - building crates to hold and secure each fish, individually wrapping all fins with bubble wrap and tape, and carefully surrounding the fish with various packing materials. The fish arrived in perfect shape and are now displayed proudly at my house, bringing back wonderful childhood memories. I was very pleased with the quality of Arctic's work and attention to detail. I found their pricing very reasonable and staff quite pleasant to work with. I recommend Arctic to anyone having similar needs.

I am so disappointed with the work done to my pet turtle of 24 years. I dropped my turtle off on…read moreMay 15, 2025 (and sent pictures of how he looked alive). On the contract, Peter said it would take approximately 60 to 90 days. After numerous unanswered calls and texts sent to Peter, he finally answered my call in January 2026 and told me to call back in a month. I called back and was crying on the phone, telling Peter of all the holidays in 2025 that were missed without my turtle; but Peter was really rude to me. I got a call the beginning of May 2026 telling me my turtle was ready for pick-up. I was horrified at what I saw when I went to Peter's shop on May 11, 2026, almost a year after I dropped my turtle off. The texture, color and shape of my turtle's head, neck and legs were just horrific! Only the top of his shell looked like him. Peter offered to do touch-ups and kept my turtle to try and make my turtle look better, but the damage was already done. I finally took my turtle home on May 27, 2026, crying all the way back home. I don't know if this was the first time Peter was trying to do a complete small turtle (the size of a saucer), but he really botched this job. So, beware, customers!

Well, I have never reviewed a Taxidermy Shop before, but I figure there is a first for everything…read more My family and friends have been utilizing Mr. Smith's services for three decades. We have had ducks, pheasants and deer mounted over the years and have always been very happy. He is gruff and to the point, but I appreciate a no Bull-Shit approach to most things, so we get along well. I would recommend his work (and have a million times) to anyone who wants to immortalize the memory of a phenomenal hunt through taxidermy. Thanks Bill, look forward to picking up my Buck next spring!!

Quality, time, and cost were superior to other taxidermists I've used. Highly recommend!read more

I've used Keith's taxidermy for several years now. He is a master of his craft. I saw a grouchy…read morecomplaint review stating that taxidermy could take up to 2-3 years. While I've had my taxidermy with Keith take as little as 90 days (unheard of in the business) and as long as 14 months, ANY TAXIDERMIST THAT GETS YOUR STUFF BACK TO YOU IN UNDER THREE YEARS IS A MIRACLE WORKER. Behind every taxidermy complaint that they take too long is usually a story of a customer that never said what they wanted or never paid their prior bill, thus ensuring no further work gets started until debts get settled. Just my opinion having dealt with many taxidermists over the years. Keith is great, I recommend him.
