For hunters bringing back out-of-state trophies, the shop can handle the preparation work needed to properly finish elk, antelope, or other western game. Habitat displays are also possible for customers who want their mount set within a naturalistic scene that adds context and visual depth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Big Game Taxidermy work on species other than deer?
Despite the name, most big game studios work on a wide variety of species including predators, exotics, and even birds or fish. It's worth calling ahead to confirm whether they take the specific animal you want preserved, especially for less common species.
Can I get a life-size mount done for a deer or hog?
Life-size mounts are among the most involved projects a taxidermist takes on, requiring a full skin, careful form work, and significant finishing time. They cost considerably more than shoulder mounts and require proper field care to ensure the full hide is preserved intact from the moment of harvest.
How should I transport a large trophy like an elk to the shop?
Keep the hide and antlers together, and if the animal was taken out of state, make sure you're compliant with transport and tagging regulations before bringing it to the studio. Most taxidermists prefer the cape to be caped out by an experienced hunter or outfitter in the field before transport.
What kinds of antler mounting options are available?
Antler mounts can range from simple wall plaques and wood panels to more decorative options with painted backboards or custom shapes that complement your wall space. Some customers choose to have antlers mounted alongside the skull plate for a European-style look, while others prefer a cleaner plaque presentation.
How do I know if the price I'm quoted is fair?
Taxidermy pricing varies based on the size of the animal, complexity of the pose, and the taxidermist's level of experience and demand. Getting quotes from two or three local shops gives you a reasonable sense of the going rate, and lower prices don't always mean better value if turnaround times are very long.
Can I request a specific pose for my deer mount?
Yes, most taxidermists offer a range of form options from forward-facing alert poses to turning or sneak positions, and you can often browse photos or catalogs when you drop off your cape. The taxidermist can also advise you on which poses work best given the condition and size of your hide.
