Taxidermy

Services & Process

Fish mounts are a natural specialty for a Pompano Beach taxidermist, given the area's access to the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway. These can include reproduction mounts made from fiberglass replicas, which hold up better in Florida's humid climate than traditional skin mounts. Trophy and full body mounts for big game are also offered for hunters returning from out-of-state trips. Skull cleaning and antler mounting round out the services for deer hunters looking to display their harvest without a full shoulder mount.

Service Area

Atlantic Taxidermy primarily serves Pompano Beach and the surrounding Broward County communities, including Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, and Coconut Creek. Customers from Palm Beach County and northern Miami-Dade also make the trip for quality mount work along the South Florida coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after catching a fish should I contact a taxidermist?
The sooner, the better. If you can't get to the studio right away, wrap the fish in a wet cloth, place it in a sealed bag, and freeze it without gutting it to preserve the shape and color.
Do you offer reproduction fish mounts instead of skin mounts?
Yes, reproduction mounts made from fiberglass blanks are a popular choice in Florida because they hold up better in the heat and humidity. They also don't require the actual fish, so you can release your catch and still get a mount made from photos and measurements.
How long does a typical fish mount take to complete?
Most fish mounts take anywhere from three to six months to finish, depending on the species and the studio's current workload. It's always worth asking for a specific timeline when you drop off your specimen.
Can you mount saltwater species like sailfish or tarpon?
Absolutely. South Florida taxidermists regularly work with offshore and inshore saltwater species, and many specialize in exactly those mounts. Be sure to discuss the size of the piece upfront, since large billfish mounts require significant wall space.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a full body mount for deer?
A shoulder mount shows the head and neck down to the chest, which is the most common choice for displaying antlered game. A full body mount includes the entire animal and is more expensive and space-intensive, but creates a dramatic display for exceptional trophies.
How do I care for a finished mount in Florida's humid climate?
Keep mounts away from direct sunlight, which fades colors over time, and out of rooms with high moisture like bathrooms or garages. Dusting regularly with a soft brush and keeping the home climate-controlled goes a long way toward preserving the piece.
