A picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words. But if you’re a hunting or fishing enthusiast, a professional recreation of your big game or catch trophy can help you recall every detail of the experience – much more than a thousand words. A Taxidermist is here for just that purpose. As professional taxidermists, we can serve all of your mounting needs, whether it’s your prized fish, feathered, or fur skins. A Taxidermist pays careful attention to detail in order to provide a high level of realism. 

Choosing a taxidermist is sometimes like playing the lottery; there is always a chance you could choose the right one. Don’t choose based entirely on price. While price always plays a role in our decisions, consider price carefully and always remember the saying "you get what you pay for" wasn't dreamed up yesterday. If one taxidermist is mounting deer heads for $150 less than most others, be suspicious of the quality going into the work. Buy the best quality you can afford. After all, you may have waited a lifetime for this special trophy. Picking your taxidermist carefully will assure your trophy really will last a lifetime.

TIPS FOR HANDLING YOUR TROPHY
 

A Taxidermist offers these suggestions before taking your game to a taxidermist:

(1) Wrap or cover the bird, fish, or hair portion of the animal in a good, sealed plastic. It doesn't hurt to have the antler exposed on deer heads but cover the hair, face, ears, etc...
(2) DO NOT use paper to seal your potential mount as it sticks to the scales and skin and will harm the texture.
(3) Preserve your potential mount the same way you would take care of meat in your freezer.
(4) A year is about the limit on keeping a deer head, fish, or
bird in the freezer. Freezer burning destroys the taxidermist's ability to work with the skin of the mount.
(5) Bloodstains are not that big of a problem as washing and shampooing is part of the taxidermist's process.
(6) Where possible, a vacuum-sealed process would work great for preserving the animal in your freezer.
