About All Season Taxidermy

All Season Taxidermy is located in Litchfield, Michigan, a small city in Hillsdale County in the state's southern tier. The name reflects something real about this kind of studio: good taxidermy work doesn't stop when deer season ends. Hillsdale County's mix of rolling farmland and woodlots produces quality whitetail deer, wild turkey, and Canada geese, keeping a full-service shop busy across every season. Litchfield sits within an easy drive of the Ohio border, so this studio draws customers from both sides of the state line looking for quality preservation work.

Services & Process

All Season Taxidermy covers the range of work that southern Michigan hunters and anglers bring in throughout the year. Deer shoulder mounts are a fall staple, requiring precise cape preparation, form selection, and finishing work that recreates a lifelike, natural expression. Wild turkey full body mounts are popular in the spring after Hillsdale County's turkey season wraps up. Waterfowl and upland bird mounts require delicate featherwork and often involve custom habitat scenes. Fish mounts, antler mounting, and skull cleaning fill out the slower months and keep the shop active year-round.

Service Area

All Season Taxidermy serves Litchfield and the broader Hillsdale County area, including Hillsdale, Jonesville, and Coldwater. Hunters from Branch and Lenawee counties also make the trip. The shop's location near the Michigan-Ohio border makes it a reasonable choice for sportsmen just across the state line as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring in a wild turkey for mounting after the spring season?
Yes, spring turkey is one of the busier periods for bird work at Michigan taxidermy shops. Handle the bird carefully to avoid ruffling the feathers, and get it refrigerated or frozen as quickly as possible after the harvest for the best mounting results.
Do you do waterfowl mounts for ducks and Canada geese?
Waterfowl mounts are a specialty that requires careful feather cleaning and precise positioning to look natural. Canada geese, mallards, and wood ducks are commonly mounted in Michigan, and a good taxidermist can pose them in flight, standing, or landing positions.
What deposit is typically required to start a mount?
Most taxidermists in Michigan ask for a deposit of 30 to 50 percent of the total cost at drop-off. This covers materials and secures your spot in the work queue, with the balance due at pickup.
Can a damaged cape still be mounted if there's a bullet hole or torn skin?
Minor damage like small bullet holes or short cuts can often be repaired skillfully enough that they're not visible in the finished mount. Extensive damage or hide slippage from improper field care is harder to fix, which is why quick cooling after the harvest matters so much.
What's the difference between a wall pedestal and a shoulder mount for deer?
A traditional shoulder mount shows the deer from the chest up, flat against the wall. A wall pedestal mount shows more of the body and creates a more three-dimensional, dramatic display. Pedestal mounts cost more and take up more space but make a strong visual statement.
Do you accept specimens from hunters who harvested game in other states?
Yes, as long as the proper harvest documentation is in order, most taxidermists can work on out-of-state specimens. If you're bringing in game from another state, make sure you have your license and any required tags or transport permits with you at drop-off.
