Services & Process

Andersons Taxidermy handles the core work hunters and anglers in central West Virginia need most.

Fish mounts are another popular request, especially given the elk and gauley rivers running through the region. Skull cleaning and antler mounting round out the typical offerings, giving clients multiple ways to display a harvest without committing to a full mount.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my deer should I bring it in?
You should get your cape to the taxidermist as quickly as possible, ideally within 24 hours. If you can't bring it right away, keep it refrigerated or freeze it to prevent slippage and hair loss.
How long does a deer shoulder mount typically take?
Most shoulder mounts take anywhere from 3 to 12 months depending on the studio's current workload. It's best to ask for a specific timeline estimate when you drop off your specimen.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a full body mount?
A shoulder mount includes the head and neck down to the chest, which is the most common and affordable option for deer. A full body mount preserves the entire animal and costs significantly more in both time and materials.
Can I get just the antlers mounted without a full cape?
Yes, antler mounting is a popular option for hunters who want a display without the full taxidermy process. The antlers are typically attached to a panel or skull plate and finished to your preference.
Do taxidermists in West Virginia work on wild turkey?
Absolutely. Wild turkey mounts are very common in this part of Appalachia. You can choose from fan displays, half-body, or full strutter poses depending on your budget and wall space.
What should I do with a fish if I want it mounted?
Keep the fish wet and cool, and either bring it in fresh or wrap it tightly in a plastic bag and freeze it flat. Taking clear photos of the fish right after the catch is also helpful so the taxidermist can accurately match the coloring.
