Established in 1956, Capilano Taxidermy Studios, a Canada Taxidermist, has become a leader within the taxidermy industry in the Pacific Northwest. We handle everything from sales to movie props. You will find what you need at Capilano Taxidermy. We strive on superior service and unrivalled craftsmanship, setting us apart from the competition; we ensure a friendly and helpful ongoing relationship with every client., Eugen E. Klein, our founder and master craftsman, grew up in Vienna, Austria, learning his trade in the fur industry at the age of 14. Coming to Canada in 1956 he launched Capilano Taxidermy. Hand sewing when the competition used hot glue, hand painted glass eyes imported from overseas instead of generic glass eyes and even touring the continent in search of new techniques and materials are just a few the examples setting his company apart. Quality Workmanship, Dependability and Service, these are the old fashioned work ethics he began Capilano Taxidermy with., Mr. Klein is an avid hunter who has trekked across the world with safaris in North America, Europe and Africa. He became displeased with the quality of workmanship that other taxidermy shops had to offer and finally opened a studio of his own to deliver the finest workmanship and quality to all his clients. To this day, our philosophy remains the same in treating all of our clients' trophies as if they were our own.

My two passions earlier in my life were hockey and the love of the outdoors. I was fortunate enough to have a long professional career in the game that gave me such highlights as winning a gold medal in ’93 with Canada’s World Junior Team, being drafted by the New York Rangers and several championships with European teams.
Retiring from hockey 4 years ago, I turned my attention to the outdoors. I attended Second Nature Taxidermy School in Montana and learned the skills and techniques of the trade. I always had an artistic eye and this has certainly transferred into my passion for taxidermy.
I love the trade but also enjoy meeting the people and hearing the stories of their adventures and hunts. I’ll always make time for anyone who drops by and these stories always add to the vision of what they want their finished trophies to look like.
Spending time in the great outdoors is an important part of life in the beautiful Okanagan region of British Columbia. At Wild Country Taxidermy, we are committed to helping you preserve memories and trophies of your days spent in nature in a beautiful and respectful manner. We are happy to work with hunters and outdoorsmen to create lifelike mounts that will preserve an animal’s natural beauty, and do it efficiently and affordably.
