Jeff Soukup

"Scott Has mounted my Elk, my lifesize Mountain Lion and now my lifesize Bear... Need I say any more?"

Klaus Hartman

"It was well worth the wait, Scott did a fine job and mounted my Bighorn just as I remembered him."

Billy Simpson

With his self named buck, Goliath which scores 169 5/8'' BC. "Good mount, great job, I'm very satisfied with my deer. We'll be doing business again."

Tyler Fountain

"Scott has done a fantastic job on a total five trophies for me. Including my best buck ever, which held the Nebraska State Record in 2000 at 200 5/8" BC. Hopefully, I can return again soon with another state record."

Al Poteat

"Four Elk, two deer, four years and still coming back!" (Al with his 2004 buck before the bleaching process)

To Whom It May Concern:

Scott Steiner has now completed 2 mounts for me.  I found his work and precision to be absolutely flawless.  The first mount was of a Largemouth Bass.  When I received my trophy back from Scott it was as good as the day I pulled it out of the water.  So, like any other person who is pleased with ones work the first time, I passed all my mounts back to Scott.  My second trophy was a Pheasant.  After seeing so many Pheasant mounts that don't look REAL at all, I must say I was worried, but after receiving my trophy from Scott, I was amazed to see how my Pheasant had turned out.  The extreme detail, reality of definition and head detail honestly brings the bird back to life.  I look forward to getting some waterfowl done next.  It's not just the taxidermy work that is 100% perfect; it's the lot, from the taxidermy work to the care that goes into them.  They also treat  you like family and the camaraderie shared between us is absolutely PRICELESS- I can't thank Scott enough
