About Cypress Hills Taxidermy Studio

Cypress Hills Taxidermy Studio brings professional taxidermy work to Brooklyn, one of New York City's most densely populated boroughs. Finding a taxidermist within the city limits is genuinely uncommon, which makes this studio a valuable resource for local hunters, anglers, and collectors. The studio holds a 5-star rating and serves a customer base that spans all of Brooklyn and beyond. Cypress Hills itself, sitting along the Brooklyn-Queens border, gives the studio good access to customers from both boroughs.

Services & Process

The studio handles everything from traditional trophy mounts to detailed fish and bird work. Shoulder mounts for whitetail deer are a popular request, involving form selection, hide preparation, and careful finishing to bring out natural expression. Fish mounts require color replication and surface detailing that's nearly as demanding as fine art. Bird mounts, particularly waterfowl popular among Long Island hunters, are also part of the studio's repertoire, with natural poses and detailed featherwork being key to a quality finished piece.

Service Area

Cypress Hills Taxidermy Studio serves all of Brooklyn and draws clients from Queens, Staten Island, and Manhattan as well. The studio's location along the Brooklyn-Queens border makes it convenient for hunters and collectors from both boroughs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of animals can a Brooklyn taxidermist work on?
Most licensed taxidermists can work on legally harvested wild game, fish, and birds. This includes whitetail deer, turkey, waterfowl, and sport fish common to the New York region.
Do I need a license or paperwork to have an animal mounted in New York?
For legally hunted game, keeping your tags and license on hand is good practice. For certain protected species, additional permits may be required, so it's worth checking with the studio before bringing in anything unusual.
Can taxidermists create decorative pieces for home interiors?
Yes, many urban clients request mounts specifically designed for home display rather than traditional hunting cabins. Taxidermists can work with you on pose, base design, and framing to create something that fits your space.
How do I store a fish properly before bringing it to a taxidermist?
Wrap the fish in a damp cloth and place it in a sealed plastic bag before freezing. Avoid placing anything on top of the fish during freezing so the fins don't get damaged or bent out of shape.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a replica mount for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual fish skin stretched over a form, while a replica is a fiberglass reproduction painted to match your catch. Replicas tend to hold up better long-term and allow catch-and-release fishing.
How far in advance should I contact a taxidermist before hunting season?
Reaching out before season starts is smart because popular taxidermists book up quickly during fall. Getting on the schedule early also lets you discuss proper field care before your hunt.
