The mountain of wild animals stretches up to the second floor of the store. These are museum quality trophy mounts that appear as if they will jump down off the mountain at a moments notice.

You can circle the base of this taxidermy temple for quite some time checking out the life-like animals seemingly frozen in time.

Take a bite out of a burger, or grab one of the sandwiches, salads, or soups. If you’re an experimental eater, here is your chance to try buffalo, elk, wild boar, or bison.
