Bear mounts are a specialized skill, whether you want a full body standing pose, a rug, or a wall pedestal mount, each requiring different techniques for hide preparation and form work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I handle a harvested bear before bringing it to a taxidermist?
Keep the bear as cool as possible after the harvest and avoid cutting the hide in areas that would be visible on the finished mount. Get the animal to the taxidermist as quickly as you can, since large animals spoil faster than smaller ones.
What are my options for mounting a black bear in Pennsylvania?
You can choose from a full body standing or crouching mount, a rug mount with or without the head, a wall pedestal mount, or a skull and claw display. Each option has different costs and space requirements, so it helps to think about where the mount will be displayed before deciding.
Can Bears Birds Taxidermy mount a turkey fan display?
Turkey fan, beard, and spur displays are popular and relatively affordable compared to full bird mounts. A full strut turkey mount is a more elaborate option that shows the whole bird, which makes for an impressive display if you have the wall space.
Is bird taxidermy more difficult than deer taxidermy?
Bird work is widely considered one of the more technically demanding areas of taxidermy because feathers require careful handling, and any damage during skinning is difficult to hide. Experienced bird taxidermists spend years refining the techniques needed to get natural-looking results.
Do I need a special permit to have a migratory bird mounted?
Yes. Federal law requires that migratory birds like ducks and geese be legally harvested with the proper licenses, and taxidermists are required to keep records of migratory bird work. Make sure you have your hunting license and any required stamps when you bring in waterfowl.
How much does a full body bear mount cost in Pennsylvania?
Full body bear mounts are among the most expensive taxidermy work you can commission, often ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 or more depending on the size of the bear and the complexity of the pose. Rug mounts are typically more affordable and still make a dramatic display piece.
