Flyway Taxidermy was formed in 1999 when Jerry Froelich, a passionate duck hunter, saw an opening and a way to continue his passion for hunting and a way of preserving the memory and life of the waterfowl. Not only has he harvested some of the most unique waterfowl species of North America has to offer, but his work has allowed him to travel the world in search of other species. In 2002 Flyway Taxidermy starting entering artistic waterfowl pieces in many prestigious taxidermy competitions, earning him a
reputation for excellent craftsmanship and artistic ability. He has received over 40+ awards since then including being named The 2009 World Champion in the category of waterfowl taxidermy. Jerry only specializes in avian taxidermy and between his waterfowl and upland bird mounts, he has become one of the top taxidermists in the world for his craftmanship and artistic expression.
About Our Service:
At Flyway Taxidermy, Jerry puts a great emphasis on not only producing the most realistic waterfowl mounts for his competition
pieces, but he strives to offer the avid waterfowl hunter the same caliber of specimen for their home. Jerry also takes great pride in being an overall artist in every area of his taxidermy work. Therefore not only will your bird look alive, but so will the surrounding habitat that you choose to embed your mount in.
Jerry also likes to be very creative in offering many, many different options for each customer. Instead of just placing a flying bird sideways across your wall, Jerry enjoys putting that bird in a very natural position and can offer everything from a custom coffee table setting, to a featured trophy under a glass, as well as a realistic mount for the wall or hanging from the ceiling. From the avid hunter, to the trophy collector- Flyway Taxidermy is excited to build your trophy as you picture it in your head. No matter what caliber of investment you are looking to make, Jerry is open to meeting and exceeding your expectations, while providing a truly realistic mount that you can be proud to share with everyone that enters your home or office.
Customer relations is also an area that Jerry provides outstanding service. Jerry's standard turn around time for a project is usually less than one year and he is willing to meet with you and share some ideas with you before the project is started. Jerry also encourages his customers to visit his showroom in St. Coud, MN to get a better feel for the caliber of mount that can expect to recieve as well as get some new ideas. If that is not possible Jerry is able to easily do business with you over the phone and drop ship your finished product to your home- anywhere across the country.
