Services & Process

Eastern Taxidermy covers the core services Long Island hunters and anglers need most. Deer shoulder mounts are a frequent request given Suffolk County's active whitetail population, and each one involves careful hide preparation, form selection, and hand-finished detail work. Fish mounts for stripers, fluke, and other local species are another strength, with color accuracy being a major part of what separates a great mount from a forgettable one. Skull cleaning and antler mounting round out the offering for clients who want trophy displays without a full skin mount.

Service Area

Eastern Taxidermy serves Farmingville and the broader Brookhaven Town area, including Holtsville, Medford, and Selden. They're well-positioned to work with hunters and anglers from across Suffolk County and even parts of Nassau County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there good deer hunting opportunities near Farmingville for Long Island residents?
Suffolk County has some of the best whitetail deer hunting in New York State, with large tracts of state and county land open to hunting. The Pine Barrens region nearby holds solid deer populations that draw hunters each fall.
What fish species are commonly mounted by Long Island taxidermists?
Striped bass, bluefish, fluke, and black sea bass are among the most popular requests from South Shore anglers. Freshwater catches from local ponds and reservoirs, like largemouth bass, come in regularly too.
How long does skull cleaning typically take?
Skull cleaning through maceration or beetle colonies usually takes 2 to 6 weeks depending on the size of the animal and the method used. A whitetail deer skull is typically on the shorter end of that range.
Can I get antlers mounted without the full deer cape?
Yes, antler mounts are a popular and more affordable option than full shoulder mounts. Your taxidermist can mount the antlers on a panel, plaque, or European-style skull plate depending on your preference.
What should I do with a deer cape if I can't get to the taxidermist right away?
Salt the flesh side of the cape heavily and let it drain, or freeze it in a sealed bag as quickly as possible. Don't leave it in a warm garage or vehicle, as hair slip happens fast in warm conditions.
Do Long Island taxidermists work on turkey mounts?
Turkey mounts are a popular request, especially after spring season. A full strut mount or fan-and-beard display are both common options, with the full body mount being the more dramatic presentation.
