About The Taxidermist:

My name is Tyler Erickson. I grew up near Fox Lake, Minnesota. As a young boy, I was introduced to the outdoors by my father and fell in love with God's creation. I landed my first trophy walleye when I was four and still remember trying to reel him in. I am an avid hunter, fisherman, and outdoorsman, and my vast knowledge of the outdoors is put into every mount to ensure life-like mounts.

I graduated in May 2007 from South Dakota State University with a degree in wildlife and fisheries. I attended the American Institute of Taxidermy in Wisconsin and am certified by the school. I am also licensed in South Dakota. I treat every mount as if it were my own and pay special attention to detail. I pride myself on my quality, honesty, and friendly service. I work with you, the customer, to give you what you want.

About Our Service:

Top Notch Taxidermy is a high end fish taxidermy studio specializing in fish mounts and reproductions along with gameheads and birds.  I feel that you owe it to yourself to view my work up close and see the detail for yourself.  I spend a large amount of time on each fish, hand painting (scale tipping) the scales, and paying close attention to the anatomical features that make your fish come alive.  From the eyes to the fins, nothing is overlooked.  I am driven by the desire to produce the most realistic and artistic taxidermy available.  I have attended many competitions and seminars in my pursuit to improve.  I have won many awards at the state level and will provide you with a wonderful piece of wildlife art.   If you are not from the area Please contact me for shipping instructions or ask about one of my alternate drop off locations.
