Services & Process

Artist's Touch brings a craftsman's sensibility to taxidermy work, with a likely focus on the quality of materials used in every mount. Trophy mounts for deer and elk are a natural fit given the surrounding hunting country, and the studio's building supply background suggests it may handle custom habitat displays and mounting panels in-house. Fish mounts, bird work, and rug mounts round out a typical service menu for a rural Arizona studio. Customers who want a custom base, panel, or display case built alongside their mount may find this combination of skills particularly useful.

Service Area

Artist's Touch serves Dewey-Humboldt and the surrounding Yavapai County communities, including Prescott Valley, Humboldt, and Mayer. The studio's rural location makes it a convenient stop for hunters coming out of the Black Hills or Bradshaw Mountains after a successful hunt. Customers from the broader Prescott corridor regularly use providers in this area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a taxidermist with building supply experience different?
A provider with hands-on knowledge of materials can build custom mounting panels, shadow boxes, and habitat displays rather than relying on off-the-shelf forms. This means you can get a more personalized finished product that fits your wall space and aesthetic without going to a separate shop.
What hunting is available near Dewey-Humboldt?
The Bradshaw Mountains and surrounding Prescott National Forest land offer solid opportunities for mule deer, elk, black bear, and javelina. Yavapai County also has several quality antelope units, and the Verde Valley nearby is good for dove and quail hunting in season.
How do I know if my cape is in good enough condition to mount?
Bring it in as soon as possible, ideally salted and rolled flesh-side out or frozen if you can't get there right away. A taxidermist can assess hair condition and check for spoilage or slippage when you arrive, and they'll let you know honestly whether the cape is workable.
Can I get a habitat display built along with my mount?
Yes, and this type of dual-skill studio is well positioned to handle exactly that kind of project. Habitat displays use natural materials like rocks, grasses, and driftwood to create a scene around your mount, and having someone who understands both the taxidermy and the construction sides makes the process smoother.
What is the difference between a skin mount and a reproduction fish mount?
A skin mount uses the actual fish's skin stretched over a form, while a reproduction is cast from fiberglass and painted to match your catch using your photos as a reference. Reproductions hold up better over time and let you release the fish, which is why many anglers prefer them for catch-and-release fishing.
How should I store a trophy before I can get it to a taxidermist?
Freezing is the safest option if you can't get to the studio within a day or two. For capes and hides, cape the animal out first, salt the hide generously if you have the supplies, and then freeze it wrapped in a plastic bag. For skulls and fish, just freezing them whole works well.
