Services & Process

Bartlett's Wildlife Artistry focuses on the artistry side of the craft, which usually means extra attention to anatomical accuracy and realistic finishing details. Shoulder mounts for whitetail and other big game involve careful hide preparation and hand-painted detail work around the face. Bird work, including wild turkey fans and full-body bird mounts, demands a fine touch with feather positioning and habitat accessories. The studio's name suggests they approach each piece as a finished work of art, not just a preserved specimen.

Service Area

Bartlett's Wildlife Artistry serves Dallas and the broader Back Mountain area of Luzerne County. Customers from Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, and surrounding communities in northeastern Pennsylvania make the trip for quality work. The studio is within reach of hunters and anglers across much of the Wyoming Valley region.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an artistry taxidermist different from a standard taxidermist?
An artistry-focused studio typically spends more time on finishing details like hand-painted facial features, custom eye placement, and habitat bases that complement the mount. The goal is a piece that looks natural and tells a story, not just a preserved specimen on a plaque.
Can I add a habitat base or background to my mount?
Yes, many taxidermists offer custom habitat options including natural wood bases, artificial ground cover, and themed backgrounds that match where your animal was taken. These additions take extra time and materials, so discuss them upfront when getting your estimate.
How do I care for a finished taxidermy mount at home?
Keep mounts out of direct sunlight and away from high-humidity areas like bathrooms or basements to prevent fading and deterioration. Dust gently with a soft brush and avoid using household cleaning sprays near the mount.
Does the studio work with birds from Pennsylvania's hunting seasons?
Wild turkey mounts, including fan and beard displays or full-body mounts, are popular requests in this part of Pennsylvania. Smaller upland birds like pheasant and grouse are also common, and a quality studio can handle all of these with proper feather care.
How is pricing typically determined for a custom mount?
Most taxidermists price by species and mount type as a baseline, then add costs for custom poses, habitat elements, and finishing upgrades. Getting an itemized quote before dropping off your specimen helps avoid surprises when the work is done.
Should I freeze my specimen if I can't drop it off right away?
Freezing is a safe option for short-term storage when done correctly. Wrap the specimen tightly in plastic, remove as much air as possible, and freeze it without delay. Let the taxidermist know it was frozen so they can thaw and inspect it properly on arrival.
