About Bucky’s Taxidermy

Bucky's Taxidermy is based in Grafton, Wisconsin, a community along the Milwaukee River in Ozaukee County just north of Milwaukee. The area has a strong hunting culture, with easy access to whitetail deer habitat throughout the county and beyond. Grafton's location makes it a convenient option for hunters in the Milwaukee metro who want quality taxidermy work done locally rather than shipping trophies out of the area. Bucky's serves customers who take their trophies seriously and want a studio that understands what a successful hunt means to the people who walk through the door.

Services & Process

Bucky's Taxidermy most likely handles the full range of work that Wisconsin hunters bring in each season. Deer shoulder mounts are the volume staple, requiring careful attention to hide preparation and form selection to get the natural ear, eye, and nose placement that separates a great mount from a mediocre one. The studio probably also works with waterfowl and upland birds, which are popular in Ozaukee County's agricultural corridors. Skull cleaning, antler mounting, and possibly fish mounts round out the kind of service list that keeps local hunters coming back year after year.

Service Area

Bucky's Taxidermy serves Grafton and the surrounding Ozaukee County communities, including Cedarburg, Port Washington, and Mequon. Hunters from the north Milwaukee suburbs also make the short drive to drop off trophies. It's a practical local choice for anyone in the greater Milwaukee metro area north of the city.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on deer harvested during both bow and gun season?
Yes, Wisconsin taxidermists take in deer from all seasons, including archery, gun, and muzzleloader. The key is to handle the cape carefully after harvest and get it to the studio promptly.
Can you mount a duck or goose from a waterfowl hunt?
Bird mounts are a common service, and Ozaukee County produces good waterfowl hunting along Lake Michigan and its river corridors. You'll want to keep birds cool and unplucked until they reach the studio.
What does a deer shoulder mount cost in the Grafton area?
Pricing varies by studio and complexity, but a standard deer shoulder mount in Wisconsin typically runs between $400 and $700. Ask for a specific quote when you drop off your specimen.
Can you do European skull mounts in addition to full shoulder mounts?
European skull mounts, which involve cleaning the skull and mounting the antlers on it, are popular because they're clean, display well, and cost less than a full shoulder mount. Most studios in the area offer both options.
How do I properly cape a deer in the field before bringing it in?
Cut behind the front legs and up the back of the neck, leaving plenty of hide forward of the shoulders. Avoid cutting around the head, and keep the cape cool or frozen until you can get it to the studio.
Do you offer life-size deer mounts or only shoulder mounts?
Life-size deer mounts are available but much less common due to the size and cost involved. Shoulder mounts are the standard choice for most hunters. If you're interested in a life-size piece, ask during your initial consultation.
