Frequently Asked Questions

What species of fish can you mount from Pennsylvania waters?
Common requests include brown trout, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, muskellunge, and walleye from the Susquehanna watershed. Both skin mounts and fiberglass reproductions are available depending on whether you want to keep the fish.
Can you add a habitat scene to my mount?
Habitat displays incorporate natural materials like driftwood, rocks, leaves, or artificial foliage to create a scene around the mount. They add significant visual appeal and help the display look at home in a cabin or office setting.
How do I properly cape a deer in the field?
Make a cut behind the shoulder blade and work forward, keeping as much hide as possible on the neck and face. Avoid cuts through the brisket or cape, and call the taxidermist if you're unsure before making any cuts.
Do you work with game taken outside of Pennsylvania?
Yes, many clients bring in out-of-state trophies from hunting trips to other regions or even Canada. Make sure you have any required wildlife documentation for the species before crossing state lines.
What's the best way to transport a fish to the studio?
Keep the fish wet and cool immediately after the catch, then wrap it in a damp cloth and place it in a plastic bag before freezing. Avoid letting it dry out or sit in direct sunlight, which causes color to fade quickly.
How long does a full-body mount take to complete?
Full-body mounts are the most time-intensive service, often taking twelve to eighteen months depending on the animal and the shop's current schedule. The added complexity of body posing, hide tanning, and detailed finishing all add to the timeline.
