Services & Process

Cedar River Taxidermy works with the kind of species Pacific Northwest hunters and anglers regularly pursue. Shoulder mounts for deer and elk are bread-and-butter work for studios in the Cascades foothills, and full body mounts for predators like bear or cougar are also within reach for serious collectors. Fish mounts for trout, steelhead, and salmon caught in nearby rivers like the White and Green fit naturally into the service offering. The studio also handles antler mounting and European skull mounts for hunters who want a cleaner, more affordable display option.

Cedar River Taxidermy serves Enumclaw and the surrounding communities in King and Pierce Counties. Hunters from Auburn, Black Diamond, Buckley, and the broader Cascade foothills area make up a large part of the studio's regular customer base.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get an elk mount done at Cedar River Taxidermy?
Elk are one of the most common big game animals in the Cascades foothills region, and studios like Cedar River are experienced working with them. Shoulder mounts and European skull mounts are both popular options for elk hunters.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a European mount?
A shoulder mount uses the full head, neck, and forward shoulders mounted on a form with finished hide and glass eyes. A European mount is a cleaned skull, often whitened, that's mounted on a plaque and offers a more minimalist, budget-friendly display.
How do I properly care for my deer cape before bringing it to the studio?
Keep the cape cool and avoid letting it sit in a warm vehicle or the sun. If you're more than an hour from the studio, fold the cape flesh-to-flesh and freeze it to preserve quality.
Does the studio near Enumclaw handle fish mounts from local rivers?
Yes, steelhead, rainbow trout, and other species from rivers like the White and Green are regular projects for studios in this area. Bring in the whole fish kept cold, or ask about reproduction options if you already released it.
How long does a typical deer shoulder mount take to complete?
Most shoulder mounts take several months to a year or more depending on the studio's workload and the complexity of the project. Ask for a realistic estimate when you drop off so you're not left guessing.
Can Cedar River Taxidermy mount a black bear from a hunt near Mount Rainier?
Bear mounts, including full body rugs and standing poses, are a specialty in hunting communities around the Cascades. The specific options available depend on the condition of your hide and the studio's current capacity, so call ahead.
