Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a deer shoulder mount typically take at Flint Creek Taxidermy?
Turnaround times for deer shoulder mounts usually range from several months to over a year, depending on how busy the season is and the complexity of the work. It's smart to drop off your cape early and ask for a realistic timeline at intake so there are no surprises.
Do I need to do anything to prepare my deer cape before bringing it in?
Yes, proper field care makes a big difference in the finished mount. You should keep the cape cool or frozen as soon as possible after the harvest, avoid cutting the throat, and get it to the studio quickly. The taxidermist can walk you through any specific prep steps when you call ahead.
Can Flint Creek Taxidermy do a European skull mount for a deer taken on private land nearby?
European skull mounts are a popular and more affordable alternative to full shoulder mounts, and most taxidermists in North Alabama offer them. The skull is cleaned, whitened, and mounted for display, and the process is generally faster than a traditional shoulder mount.
What is a fish reproduction mount and should I consider one?
A reproduction mount is a fiberglass replica of your fish that gets painted to match the exact species, size, and coloring of your catch. It's a great option if you plan to release your fish, since the artist works from measurements and photos rather than the actual fish.
Does the studio handle wild turkey mounts, including fan displays?
Turkey fan mounts and full-body turkey mounts are common requests at Alabama taxidermy studios, especially after spring season. You can typically choose between a simple fan and beard display or a full strutting mount, depending on your budget and wall space.
How should I store my specimen if I can't get to the taxidermist right away?
Freezing your specimen as soon as possible is the safest option if there's going to be any delay. Wrap it tightly in plastic to prevent freezer burn, and avoid thawing and refreezing multiple times, which can damage the hide or feathers.
