Services & Process

Brock's Wildlife Taxidermy handles the full range of work you'd expect from a Tennessee studio, including whitetail deer shoulder mounts, wild turkey full body mounts, and small game preservation. Deer shoulder mounts involve skinning, fleshing, and fitting the hide over a sculpted form to recreate a lifelike pose. Turkey mounts require careful feather preservation and detailed positioning. Skull cleaning services are also popular here, giving hunters a clean European-style display that shows off antler mass and bone structure without the bulk of a traditional mount.

Service Area

Brock's Wildlife Taxidermy is based in Pikeville, Tennessee, and serves customers throughout Bledsoe County and the surrounding communities. Hunters from Dunlap, Dayton, and other parts of the Sequatchie Valley and Cumberland Plateau region regularly use local studios like this one to preserve their trophies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare my deer for drop-off after the hunt?
Cool the animal down as quickly as possible after the harvest and avoid cutting the hide below the shoulders if you want a shoulder mount. Keep it refrigerated or frozen until you can bring it in, and don't let it sit in warm temperatures for extended periods.
How long does a whitetail deer shoulder mount typically take?
Most shoulder mounts take anywhere from four to eight months depending on the studio's current workload and drying time requirements. It's best to ask for a specific estimate when you drop off your animal so you can plan accordingly.
Can I get a wild turkey mounted after a spring hunt in Tennessee?
Yes, turkey mounts are a popular service for Tennessee spring hunters. A full body mount or fan and beard display are both common options, and you'll want to keep the bird cool and handle the feathers carefully to avoid damage before drop-off.
What's the difference between a European skull mount and a traditional shoulder mount?
A European mount involves cleaning the skull down to bare bone and displaying the antlers attached to the cleaned skull, often on a simple plaque or panel. A traditional shoulder mount uses the preserved hide stretched over a foam form to recreate the full look of the animal's head and neck.
Do taxidermists in Pikeville work on small game like squirrels or rabbits?
Many local taxidermists do handle small game, though it's worth calling ahead to confirm availability. Small game mounts can be a great option for younger hunters preserving their first harvest or collectors looking for natural history displays.
What happens if I can't drop off my animal right away?
Freezing your animal whole is a perfectly acceptable short-term solution, and most taxidermists prefer a frozen animal over one that's been sitting out. Double-bag it to prevent freezer burn and call ahead so the studio knows what to expect when you bring it in.
