Established on Maryland's Eastern Shore in 1979, our philosophy centers around the premise that my customers deserve to get the best I can offer, and pride in that service is paramount. It has and will always be simple...strive for, and maintain a level of craftsmanship, realism and excellence that sets my work apart from others. Modern taxidermy and animal preparation has changed drastically from the time of the old school masters. Catalog suppliers of pre-sculpted forms have replaced the techniques of James L. Clark, Robert Rockwell, Louis Paul Jonas, William Temple Hornaday and Carl E. Akeley. The results are often generic, and truly, lack the attitude and realism found in a custom mounted piece.

Bruce Foster Studio caters to the affluent and selective sportsman who demands the highest quality, only found in individual craftsmanship. I am not a production studio that slips a skin on a generic form as quickly as possible. Each piece is original and individually designed. The species best features, behavior, and attitude are all blended and sculptured into an anatomically accurate finished piece. An enormous amount of time and creative talent highlight the best features of your trophy. Garment grade tanning as well as the best materials for the project ensure the highest quality possible.

   
My goal has always been to bring you the best in the industry...... a professional service that caters to the desires and needs of the customer.

From pre-hunt planning, document requirements, import and export regulations, trophies entry/ clearance to trophy room design, we are there to serve you. Unlike many, we make no claim to fame, or boast of “Award Winning” recognition. It is our view, that the reward is yours.....a hand crafted piece, done with pride and craftsmanship. For 29 years, our experience always shows through, we will continue to place you first, and deliver the quality that has become the foundation of our business.
