About Fox Studios

Fox Studios operates out of Cold Spring, a small Hudson Valley town known for its historic charm and proximity to some of New York's best hunting and fishing country. The Hudson Highlands and Catskill foothills nearby draw deer hunters, turkey hunters, and trout anglers throughout the year, creating steady demand for quality taxidermy work in the region. Cold Spring's location along the Hudson River also means local anglers regularly bring in trophy striped bass and shad worth preserving. This studio serves a community where outdoor traditions run deep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you mount Hudson River striped bass?
Hudson River striped bass are a popular request in this area, and Fox Studios handles both reproduction and skin mounts depending on your preference. Reproductions are a great option if you want to release the fish but still have a display-quality piece.
Can you do turkey fan mounts for birds taken in the Hudson Valley?
Turkey fan mounts and full body turkey mounts are both available and are very popular with spring gobbler hunters in Putnam County. Fan mounts are the more affordable option and display the tail feathers, beard, and spurs in a wall-mounted arrangement.
What should I do with my deer cape before bringing it in?
Keep the cape cool or frozen as soon as possible after field dressing your deer. Avoid cutting the neck too short, and don't make any unnecessary cuts near the head, since giving the taxidermist extra material to work with always produces better results.
How much does a deer shoulder mount typically cost in the Hudson Valley area?
Pricing varies by studio and the complexity of the work, but deer shoulder mounts in the New York area generally range from around $400 to over $700. It's worth getting a quote upfront so there are no surprises at pickup.
Do you handle fish caught in nearby Catskill streams?
Yes, trout and smallmouth bass from Catskill-area streams are common requests for Hudson Valley taxidermists. Catch-and-release anglers often bring in measurements and photos so a reproduction can be made without harvesting the fish.
Is there a difference in turnaround time between a fish mount and a mammal mount?
Fish mounts, especially reproductions, can sometimes be completed faster than mammal mounts because the forms are pre-made and painting is the primary labor. Mammal mounts involve more preparation steps, so they typically take longer from drop-off to completion.
