Services & Process

Creative Concepts handles the full range of taxidermy work you'd expect from a Maryland studio. Deer shoulder mounts are a staple service, where the hide is carefully preserved and fitted over a foam form to capture a lifelike pose. Fish mounts, whether reproduction or skin mounts, are available for anglers who want to display their catch long-term. Bird mounts, including ducks and geese popular with Chesapeake Bay hunters, round out their typical offerings alongside skull cleaning and antler mounting.

Service Area

Creative Concepts serves customers throughout central Maryland, including Howard, Anne Arundel, and Montgomery counties. Hunters from Baltimore and the surrounding suburbs regularly make the short drive to Jessup. The studio is also within reasonable reach for clients coming up from Prince George's County.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my deer should I bring it in?
You should get your deer to a taxidermist as quickly as possible, ideally within 24 hours if it hasn't been caped. If you can't get there right away, cape the deer and freeze the hide flat to prevent hair slippage. Heat and delay are the two biggest enemies of a quality mount.
Do you offer reproduction fish mounts instead of skin mounts?
Most Maryland taxidermists offer both options, and reproduction mounts have become increasingly popular because they hold up better over time and allow you to release your fish alive. You just need a good photo and accurate measurements. The finished result is often indistinguishable from a skin mount.
What's the typical turnaround time for a deer shoulder mount?
Turnaround times vary by shop and season, but most taxidermists in Maryland quote somewhere between 12 and 18 months for deer shoulder mounts, especially after a busy fall hunting season. Calling ahead in the summer before deer season can sometimes get you a faster slot.
How much does a standard deer shoulder mount cost in Maryland?
Pricing varies by studio and complexity, but deer shoulder mounts in Maryland generally run between $450 and $700. Wall pedestal mounts or full shoulder displays with habitat elements will cost more. Always ask for a written quote before leaving your specimen.
Can you mount waterfowl from the Chesapeake Bay area?
Yes, waterfowl mounts including mallards, Canada geese, and diving ducks are common requests in this area given the Chesapeake's reputation for duck hunting. Bring your birds in clean and cold, ideally in a plastic bag without any field dressing. Feather condition matters a lot for the final result.
Is a deposit required when I drop off my specimen?
Most taxidermists require a deposit at drop-off, typically ranging from 25 to 50 percent of the total cost. This covers initial materials and secures your place in the queue. Get a receipt and written estimate so both parties are clear on expectations before work begins.
