Services & Process

Exact Wildlife Creations focuses on precise, lifelike preservation work for the game and fish that Lenawee County hunters and anglers bring in throughout the season. Whitetail deer shoulder mounts are the primary offering, with careful attention to muscle definition, eye placement, and cape preparation that separates average work from something exceptional. Full body mounts for deer and predators like coyote or fox are also available for clients who want a more dramatic display. Fish mounting services cover Michigan species from both local and northern waters, with options for skin mounts or reproductions depending on the client's preference.

Service Area

Exact Wildlife Creations serves Tipton and the surrounding Lenawee County area, including Tecumseh, Blissfield, Adrian, and the Irish Hills communities. Hunters from Hillsdale County and the southern edge of Jackson County also bring their work here given the studio's central location in this productive hunting corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Irish Hills area a good place to find an experienced taxidermist?
The Irish Hills region is surrounded by private farmland and timber that consistently produces quality whitetail deer, meaning local taxidermists like Exact Wildlife Creations see a high volume of work each fall. That volume builds real expertise in deer anatomy, cape handling, and natural pose reproduction.
How do I pick the right pose for my deer mount?
Think about where the mount will hang and how much wall space you have. Straight-ahead poses work well in tighter spaces, while turned or upward-looking poses add drama and work better in rooms with more vertical height. The taxidermist can show you form options and help you decide what will look best.
What's a full body mount and when does it make sense?
A full body mount preserves the entire animal in a lifelike standing, bedded, or dynamic pose. It's significantly more expensive and time-consuming than a shoulder mount, but it's the right choice for a truly exceptional animal or for displays in businesses, museums, or hunting lodges.
Can I bring in a coyote or fox for mounting?
Yes, predator mounts are popular in Lenawee County and surrounding areas where coyote hunting is common. The quality of the hide and how quickly you get it to the studio after the harvest will have a big effect on the final result.
How do I know if my deer cape is still in good condition for mounting?
A cape in good condition has no slippage, meaning the hair doesn't pull away from the hide easily, and no foul smell beyond normal game odor. If you're unsure, bring it in right away and let the taxidermist assess it rather than waiting and risking further deterioration.
Do you accept out-of-season drop-offs, or only during hunting season?
Most taxidermists accept specimens year-round, and bringing in your work outside the fall rush can actually mean a shorter wait time. If you froze your deer cape properly after the season, it can be thawed and worked on at any point during the year.
