About us
At All Over Taxidermy, we do more than preserve animals — we preserve moments. Based in Tarras, Otago, we specialise in large game taxidermy NZ that captures the essence of your hunt with lifelike realism and respect. Whether it’s a red stag taken high in the Southern Alps or a wild boar tracked through the bush, your trophy tells a story — and our job is to bring that story to life.
Founded by Oliver Garland, a professional taxidermist with a degree in biology and zoology, our studio blends deep anatomical knowledge with fine craftsmanship. With years of hands-on experience in the field and workshop, Oliver approaches each mount with both technical precision and artistic care.
We work with a wide range of New Zealand big game species — from red stag, tahr, and fallow bucks to wild boar, chamois, goats, and sheep. Whether you’re after a traditional shoulder mount, a striking European skull, a dramatic full-body pose, or a custom scene with natural elements, we tailor every mount to reflect the hunt behind it.
From traditional shoulder mountsand European skulls to full-body displays and custom habitat scenes, every piece is crafted to reflect the unique story behind your hunt.
