East Troy hunters have access to large private farm tracts where mature whitetails are taken every season, making quality taxidermy a real priority in this community. A local studio here understands the expectations of sportsmen who spend serious money on their hunting and want a finished product that reflects that investment.

Services & Process

Cesar's Taxidermy provides the kind of work that southeastern Wisconsin hunters need after a productive season. Whitetail deer mounts are the most common request, from standard shoulder mounts to pedestal mounts that show more of the animal's body and create a stronger visual statement. Antler mounting is a simpler option for hunters who want to preserve the rack without the full mount, often done on a finished wood panel or European shield. Fish and small game mounts are also part of the typical workload for a well-rounded studio in this part of the state.

Service Area

Cesar's Taxidermy serves East Troy and surrounding Walworth County communities including Mukwonago, Whitewater, and Elkhorn. Hunters from the broader southeastern Wisconsin region, including those driving in from the Milwaukee metro area, find East Troy a convenient and capable option. The studio draws clients from both rural farms and the suburban fringe where quality deer hunting is still accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right pose for my whitetail shoulder mount?
Think about where the mount will hang and what angle you'll most often view it from, since a strong turn in one direction can look great from that side but awkward from another. Your taxidermist can show you form options and recommend a pose based on the size of the neck and cape you brought in.
Can you match the exact look of a deer I photographed in the field?
Bringing field photos is genuinely helpful, and a skilled taxidermist will reference them for eye color, expression, and any distinctive markings. Exact replication isn't always possible given the condition of the cape after harvest, but a reference photo gets you much closer to the result you want.
What is a pedestal mount, and is it worth the extra cost?
A pedestal mount shows the deer from the chest or brisket up, mounted on a freestanding base rather than hung on a wall, which creates a more dramatic three-dimensional display. The cost is higher than a standard shoulder mount because of the additional form, materials, and labor involved, but many hunters feel it's worth it for a truly exceptional buck.
Do you take in game taken outside of Wisconsin?
Most taxidermists will work with game harvested in other states, though you may need to provide documentation like a tag or harvest certificate depending on the species. It's worth calling ahead to ask about any paperwork requirements for out-of-state animals before you bring them in.
Is it possible to get a mount done in time for deer season to show off to other hunters?
Turnaround times typically run from several months to over a year, so a mount from last fall's hunt is unlikely to be finished before the following deer season at most studios. If timing matters, ask about rush options when you call, though not all studios offer them.
How should I store a finished mount in my home to keep it looking good?
Avoid hanging it in direct sunlight, near heating vents, or in areas with high humidity like a basement or garage, all of which can fade colors and dry out the hide over time. Light dusting with a soft brush and occasional touch-ups to the nose and eyes can keep a quality mount looking sharp for many years.
