Some urban taxidermists in this region also handle rug mounts and antler mounting for customers who want a specific decorative piece rather than a full mount.

Frequently Asked Questions

I live in Inglewood but hunt up in the Eastern Sierra. Can you handle big game mounts from that region?
Yes, taxidermists serving urban LA clients regularly work with specimens brought back from Sierra Nevada and high desert hunts. Just make sure the hide or cape is properly cooled or frozen during the drive back.
What's the best way to transport a fish for mounting after catching it near LA?
Wrap the fish in a damp cloth and keep it on ice, but avoid letting it sit in water, which can cause color and scale damage. If you can't get to the taxidermist the same day, seal it in a plastic bag and freeze it flat.
Do urban taxidermists handle the same work as rural shops?
Absolutely. The techniques are the same regardless of where the shop is located. Urban taxidermists in the LA area often have extensive experience with a wide range of species because their clients hunt and fish across the entire state.
How much should I expect to pay for a deer shoulder mount in the LA area?
Pricing varies by taxidermist, but shoulder mounts in California generally range from $400 to $700 or more depending on the complexity of the pose and finishing work. Always get a quote before dropping off your specimen.
Can I have a mount made from an animal I didn't personally hunt, like a family heirloom piece?
Taxidermists can often repair, restore, or reposition older mounts, and some can create new mounts from legally obtained specimens. It's worth calling first to discuss exactly what you're working with.
Are there any California regulations I need to know about before having a wild animal mounted?
California has specific rules about protected species and game animals, so you'll need a valid hunting license and tags for any game you bring in. Your taxidermist can help clarify what documentation they need at drop-off.
