SCI Nashville 2025 most innovative taxidermy and mounts

Over the past few years, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed cataloguing some of my favorite taxidermy and animal replicas from various Safari Club International events. I’m not necessarily looking for the biggest, baddest or most coveted species, but rather oddities that force me to stop. If you’re looking for conventional whitetails, moose and bears, I’m not your guy, but if you like the oddities, check out the following items that stood out to me in Nashville:

Mounted Coyote wearing a helmet riding a rocket — **Champion Ranch**

Prairie Dog Taxidermy — **Dakota Prairie Lodge and Resort**

Woodbury Taxidermy amazing mount hyena — **Woodbury Taxidermy**

Taxidermy mountain goat drinking ice water — **Brush Country Studios**

Mounted mountain lions fighting Kanati — **Pine Valley Outfitters**

Conroe Taxidermy alligator scenes — **Conroe Taxidermy**

Corju Hunting Taxidermy — **Corju Hunting**

Warthog taxidermy — **Mayo Oldiri Group**

Note: The exhibitors listed here are not necessarily the creators of these nuggets of intrigue, but rather the proprietors of the booths where we saw them.
