Rowan County sits along major migratory corridors, making quality taxidermy work genuinely important to the people who live here.

Services & Process

Fur Fever Taxidermy handles the core work hunters in the Piedmont region need most. Shoulder mounts for white-tailed deer are a staple, involving careful skinning, fleshing, and fitting over a form that matches the animal's original body position and expression. Full body mounts for predators like coyotes or foxes require significantly more time and skill, as every muscle contour has to read naturally. Fish replicas and bird mounts round out the typical service list, with turkey fans and tail displays being especially popular among local upland hunters.

Service Area

Fur Fever Taxidermy is based in Salisbury, NC, and serves customers throughout Rowan County and the surrounding Piedmont communities. Hunters from Kannapolis, Concord, Lexington, and the Uwharrie region regularly work with local Salisbury shops for their mounting needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a deer shoulder mount take in Salisbury?
Most taxidermists in the area give a turnaround estimate of eight to fourteen months for deer shoulder mounts, depending on their current workload. It's always a good idea to ask about the current wait time when you drop off your cape.
Can I bring in a frozen cape instead of a fresh one?
Yes, frozen capes work well as long as the animal was field dressed quickly and frozen without prolonged exposure to heat. Double-bag the cape and freeze it as soon as possible after the kill to prevent slippage.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a full body mount?
A shoulder mount preserves the head, neck, and upper chest of the animal, mounted on a wall panel or plaque. A full body mount captures the entire animal in a lifelike pose and requires considerably more materials, labor, and cost.
Do taxidermists in the Piedmont area handle turkey mounts?
Turkey work is very common in this part of North Carolina, and most local shops offer full body turkey mounts, fan mounts, and beard displays. Full body mounts are the most detailed option and show the bird in a strut or feeding pose.
How much should I expect to pay for a basic deer shoulder mount?
Pricing varies by provider and complexity, but deer shoulder mounts in North Carolina typically range from around $400 to over $700 depending on the shop, form used, and finishing details. Get a written quote before leaving your specimen.
Is a deposit required when I drop off my animal?
Most taxidermists require a deposit, often 25 to 50 percent of the total cost, at drop-off. This helps cover material costs and secures your place in the queue.
