Services & Process

Because Epic Adventures bridges hunting and taxidermy, you're looking at a provider that understands the full lifecycle of a trophy, from field to finished mount. Expect services like shoulder mounts for deer and bear, full body mounts for larger game, and fish mounts for the anglers coming out of nearby lakes and streams. Skull cleaning is another popular option, using either maceration or beetle cleaning methods to produce a display-ready skull. Antler mounting and habitat display work round out the offering for serious collectors.

Service Area

Epic Adventures primarily serves customers in Carmel and the surrounding Penobscot County towns, including Hermon, Etna, and Levant. Hunters traveling through central Maine from further away also stop in, given the business's hunting range draw. It's a natural stop for anyone hunting the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drop off a deer mount the same day I harvest it?
Yes, you can bring in a fresh deer cape and antlers right after your harvest. It's best to keep the animal cool and avoid cutting the hide too short on the neck so the taxidermist has enough to work with.
Does Epic Adventures handle bear mounts?
Bear mounts are a specialty in central Maine given how active the local bear population is. You can request a shoulder mount, full body mount, or even a rug mount, depending on the size and condition of your bear.
How long does a typical deer shoulder mount take?
Most deer shoulder mounts take anywhere from four to eight months, and timelines stretch after the fall hunting rush. Calling ahead to get a realistic estimate for your specific drop-off date is always a good idea.
What should I do if I can't bring my trophy in right away?
If you can't get to the studio within a day or two, freeze your cape and antlers as soon as possible. Avoid leaving the hide in a warm truck or garage, since spoilage can damage the fur and make quality mounting much harder.
Do you offer fish mounts for catches from local Maine lakes?
Fish mounts are available for species common to Maine waters, including bass, salmon, and trout. You can either bring in the actual fish or, in some cases, provide accurate measurements and photos for a reproduction mount.
What's the difference between a reproduction fish mount and a skin mount?
A skin mount uses the actual fish skin stretched over a form, while a reproduction is cast from fiberglass or resin and painted to match your fish. Reproductions tend to last longer and don't shrink or crack the way skin mounts sometimes can over time.
