Our Work

A quality deer mount can bring the enjoyment and memories of a hunt back any time you look at it, even if hunting seasons are closed and opening day seems like its years away. A deer doesn’t have to be a huge trophy to look appealing on the wall and take you back to the experience of the day you harvested your animal.

What counts is that the animal has special personal meaning for you, or your son or daughter. And that is our job as your taxidermist!

Field Care Guide for Your Trophy

Unfortunately, every deer season, after hunters bag their animal they want to display on the wall, they discover they have made major errors in taking care of the animal before bringing to the taxidermist.

Think About Your Mount
Planning should begin even before you squeeze the trigger or send an arrow on its flight. We would advise to never shoot an animal that you might later decide to mount, in the neck or head. With today’s modern technology, it is alway best to aim just behind the shoulder. Both head and neck shots cause severe damage to the cape that is almost impossible for the taxidermist to fix.
All properly shot animals will bleed out eventually with a bullet or arrow. Never cut the throat or make any unnecessary cuts on horned or antlered game. This could virtually ruin your trophy.
If possible, avoid dragging an animal by the hind legs. The reason for this is clear: you can damage the hair by pulling it against the grain. Also try to limit the amount of excess blood you get on the cape.
Birds, small game, large game shoulder and large game full body mounts should all be handled slightly differently. Small game and birds should not be field dressed, freeze them and deliver to us as soon as possible. Large game trophies can be field dressed but take care on how you do it. Skin the animal for butchering, cut off the head but leave the skin attached to the head. Cut the skin 6 inches behind the shoulder and bring the head and cape to us for skinning. You can always call us prior to hunting and we will be glad to answer any questions you have about proper care to ensure the best results.
Most definitely. You can drop the animal off at our studio and we will gladly handle this for you. In fact, unless you are a professional, we prefer that you let us do the caping to ensure the best possible preservation of the hide. Be be sure to keep the animal cold if you won’t be able to drop it off within a few days of the kill. This will ensure that bacteria doesn’t start growing on the hide and ruining your mount.

Our Pricing

A quality deer shoulder mount will truly represent the deer you shot and evoke the memories of that special day for decades to come. Every time you look at the mount, it will evoke that moment … that time when the trophy stepped out and you emotions took over your body.

If you want a quality mount that will truly represent the deer you shot, be careful. The cheapest price on deer taxidermy can be an indicator of poor quality or low experience. We have invested in a large new shop featuring hundreds of mounts in our showroom — we want you to come in and see our high quality work and take the time to pick out the exact mount you want.

Below you will find our basic pricing, if you need a quote on something in particular, please send us a message through our contact form or give us a call.

We would love for you to come by our Studio if you would like to get a free estimate or discuss how we can make your hunting experience something you can cherish the rest of your life.
