How long does taxidermy take?
The turnaround time depends on the type of specimen and our current workload. Smaller mounts typically take 4–6 months, while larger or more intricate pieces may require 8–12 months. Every mount is handcrafted with precision and care to ensure exceptional quality.
What do you need to get started?
We require a properly preserved specimen—ideally frozen immediately after harvest. Please avoid skinning or gutting unless discussed beforehand. We’re happy to provide guidance on proper field care.
Can you work with older or frozen specimens?
In some cases, yes. We will evaluate the condition and let you know if it’s suitable for mounting. However, the best results come from well-preserved specimens.
Do you offer custom poses and habitats?
Yes. Every piece is tailored to your vision, whether you want a classic shoulder mount, lifelike action pose, or a detailed habitat scene. We’ll collaborate with you to bring your idea to life.
What types of animals do you accept?
We work with a variety of species including predators and exotic animals. Contact us for inquiries about specific species or unique requests.
Do you provide skinning or prep services?
Yes, for local clients or nearby hunts, we offer professional skinning and field prep services to ensure your specimen is in the best condition for mounting.
What does taxidermy cost?
Pricing varies based on species, size, pose, and customization. We’ll provide a clear, itemized quote after discussing your project.
Is a deposit required?
Yes. A 50% deposit is required to begin the work, with the remaining balance due upon completion.
How should I care for my mount?
Keep your mount out of direct sunlight and away from moisture. Dust gently with a soft cloth or feather duster. If needed, we offer cleaning and restoration services to keep it looking its best for years to come.
Do you accept out-of-state or shipped specimens?
Yes. We work with clients across the country and can provide instructions for safe and legal shipping. All local and federal regulations must be followed.
Can you restore or repair older mounts?
Absolutely. Whether your mount is faded, damaged, or simply showing its age, we offer professional restoration to bring it back to life.
Are your methods ethical and legal?
Yes. We comply with all state and federal wildlife regulations, and we approach each project with respect, craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for the animal.
