Frequently Asked Questions

Does a farm-based taxidermist handle the same quality of work as a dedicated studio?
Yes, many of the best taxidermists in rural states operate out of farm properties or home studios. The quality of work depends on the artist's skill and experience, not the size or look of the facility.
Can I get a bear rug mount done in West Virginia?
Black bear rug mounts are fairly common requests in WV given the state's healthy bear population. The taxidermist will flesh and tan the hide, then mount it with or without the head depending on your preference.
What's involved in a full body mount for a coyote or fox?
The hide is carefully removed, preserved, and fitted over a foam form shaped to mimic the animal's natural musculature. Glass eyes and finishing details are added to bring the piece to life.
How do I transport a harvested animal to a taxidermist without damaging the cape?
Avoid dragging the animal over rough ground, which can damage the hide and hair. Keep the cape away from blood as much as possible, and never use a dull knife when skinning since nicks and cuts affect the finished mount.
Is there a busy season for taxidermy in West Virginia?
Yes, fall deer season creates a major rush from October through December. If you want your mount finished before next hunting season, it's smart to drop it off as soon as possible after harvesting.
Can I request a specific pose for my deer mount?
Most taxidermists offer a range of forms from upright alert poses to aggressive sneak positions. Bring reference photos if you have a specific look in mind, and the taxidermist can recommend what's achievable with your cape.
