Services & Process

Burroughs Taxidermy handles the full range of Pacific Northwest game and fish species that Snohomish County hunters and anglers bring in after a successful season. Blacktail deer and Roosevelt elk shoulder mounts are core work, using anatomically accurate forms and detailed finishing to capture these animals at their best. Waterfowl mounts, including duck and goose species from the Puget Sound lowlands, require precise feather alignment and careful cleaning. Fish mounts for salmon, steelhead, and cutthroat trout serve the strong sportfishing community in this part of Washington. Antler mounting and skull cleaning round out the service list.

Service Area

Burroughs Taxidermy serves Lynnwood and the broader Snohomish County region, including Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo, and Everett. The shop is a short drive from north Seattle neighborhoods and easily accessible from the I-5 corridor. Hunters and anglers from the Stevens Pass and Highway 2 areas also bring work to the studio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Burroughs Taxidermy a good choice for Snohomish County hunters?
With a 5-star rating from verified customers, the studio has demonstrated consistent quality. Local knowledge of the deer, elk, and waterfowl species common to Snohomish County means you're working with someone who knows these animals well.
Do you mount waterfowl from Puget Sound?
Yes, duck and goose mounts are a common request in the Lynnwood area given the productive waterfowl habitat throughout the Puget Sound lowlands. These mounts require careful feather preservation and precise posing to look natural.
How do I transport a blacktail deer cape properly after a Cascade hunt?
Get the cape off the animal quickly, avoid cutting too close to the shoulder, and keep it cool. If you're more than a day out from dropping it off, salt the skin side heavily to prevent spoilage and freeze it when you get back to the trailhead.
What's included in a skull cleaning service?
Skull cleaning removes all soft tissue from the skull and produces a clean, dry result suitable for display. Depending on the method used, the skull may also be whitened. It's a popular alternative to full or shoulder mounts for hunters who want a simpler trophy.
Can I get a steelhead mounted from a catch on the Skykomish or Sauk River?
Absolutely. Steelhead are one of the most popular fish mounts in western Washington, and river-caught fish make striking display pieces. Bring accurate length and girth measurements if you release the fish, and the studio can create a detailed reproduction mount.
How far in advance should I contact Burroughs Taxidermy before hunting season?
It's a good idea to make contact before the season starts, especially for fall deer and elk hunts. Knowing the studio's current turnaround times and deposit requirements helps you plan, and some taxidermists take reservations for new season clients.
