Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a deer shoulder mount typically take at a studio like this?
Most shoulder mounts take between four and eight months to complete, depending on the studio's current workload and the time of year you bring your specimen in. Peak season drop-offs right after November's gun season tend to have longer wait times.
What should I do with my deer hide before bringing it in?
Keep the hide as cool as possible and get it to the studio as soon as you can after the harvest. If you can't drop it off the same day, fold it flesh-side out, bag it, and refrigerate or freeze it to prevent spoilage and slipping.
Can I get just the skull cleaned without a full mount?
Yes, skull cleaning is a popular standalone service and a cost-effective way to preserve a trophy. European skull mounts are a clean, modern display option that many hunters in Middle Tennessee prefer for secondary trophies.
Do you work on wild turkey mounts?
Turkey mounts are a common request in Tennessee, where spring gobbler season is widely celebrated. A full strut or fan mount requires careful feather preservation and is a great way to display a bird you're especially proud of.
How do I know my specimen won't get mixed up with someone else's?
Reputable studios tag each specimen at drop-off with a unique identifier that stays with the piece through every stage of production. Don't hesitate to ask about the studio's tracking process when you drop off your animal.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a full body mount for deer?
A shoulder mount displays the head, neck, and chest area of the deer on a wall panel, while a full body mount preserves the entire animal in a standing or natural pose. Full body mounts cost significantly more and require more wall or floor space, but create a dramatic display piece.
