Our Story


Scovel Taxidermy, situated in Indianola, Iowa, south of Des Moines in central Iowa, transformed from a dream into reality in 2002. Founded by Rocky Scovel, an enthusiastic deer hunter, the business initially focused on deer shoulder mounts. Over the years, we have expanded our offerings to include fish and various game heads. In 2007, we introduced European skull mounts, employing dermestid beetles and the maceration process.

As of 2019, we are pleased to announce a second location for pick-up and drop-off services. In addition to our Indianola facility, clients can now conveniently access our services in Unionville, Missouri, by appointment only. This expansion allows us to better serve southern Iowa hunters while providing a valuable resource for northern Missouri hunters.

**Beginning in January 2025, we will transition the Missouri location from a simple drop-off point to a fully operational studio in the town of Unionville.**

We take immense pride in cultivating strong relationships with our clients, striving to be more than just taxidermists. Many of our clients have become friends as we earn the privilege of preserving their cherished trophies. We are honored to be the preferred taxidermists for numerous hunting outfitters who refer their esteemed clients to us.
​

Additionally, many of our dedicated deer hunters utilize the Milo Locker HUSH Program, benefiting from our complimentary pick-up service from the locker. We recognize the value of our clients' time, and this service is designed to save them both time and the hassle of an additional trip.
​We are a full time taxidermy studio.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Has done 2 mounts for me, one for my daughter and one for me. Will go with no one else!!! Thanks for the doe mount! Looks great even though I doubted it!"
​"
Scovel did a super nice job on my Heavy Ten skull mount with a woodgrain dip, exactly what I wanted and better than I expected. Reasonable pricing and easy to work with."
"
They did a great job on my white tail mount. It looks just like the deer that I shot. Their prices were very reasonable and they were very accommodating with the timeframe that I needed to have it back due to moving out of state. I would absolutely go back for future taxidermy work."
