Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after my harvest should I bring in my deer for a mount?
You should bring your deer in within 24 hours of the harvest, or freeze it as soon as possible if you can't make it right away. Skin slippage from heat or improper storage is one of the most common reasons a mount turns out poorly, so fast action matters.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a European mount?
A shoulder mount preserves the full hide, ears, and facial features on a sculpted form, giving you a lifelike representation of the animal. A European mount is a cleaned and whitened skull that shows off the antlers at a lower cost and with a cleaner, modern look.
Can you mount fish from Georgia lakes and rivers?
Yes, most taxidermists offer both skin mounts and reproduction mounts for fish. Reproductions are actually preferred for many species because they're more durable and allow you to release the fish alive, then have a replica made from measurements and photos.
How long does a deer shoulder mount typically take to complete?
Turnaround times usually run between six months and a year, depending on the shop's workload and the time of year you bring your deer in. Busy deer season months mean longer queues, so it's worth asking for a time estimate at drop-off.
Do I need to do anything to the hide before bringing it in?
Ideally, keep the hide cool or frozen and avoid cutting the throat or making incisions near the shoulders if you plan on a shoulder mount. The taxidermist will give you specific caping instructions if you call ahead before your hunt.
What information should I bring when I drop off my trophy?
Bring any harvest documentation like your Georgia DNR tags, along with photos of the animal in the field if you have them. Reference photos help the taxidermist match posture and coloring accurately, especially for fish and birds where color fades quickly.
