About Furs Spurs and Antlers

This Washington County business holds a perfect 5-star rating and is positioned in a part of upstate New York where hunting culture runs deep. Granville sits near the Vermont border, drawing customers from both sides of the state line who hunt the region's whitetail, bear, and turkey populations. The combination of taxidermy and fur goods under one roof makes it a practical stop for serious outdoorspeople.

Services & Process

The name says it all: this shop handles fur products, antler work, and the full range of taxidermy services you'd expect in a working hunting community. Antler mounting options range from simple wall plaques to full European mounts where the cleaned skull is displayed with the rack attached. Fur garment work, which might include custom hats, mittens, or trim pieces made from legally harvested hides, adds a dimension most taxidermists don't offer. Standard deer shoulder mounts, bear rugs, and small game mounts round out the sporting side of the business.

Service Area

Furs Spurs and Antlers serves Granville and the surrounding Washington County area, including communities along the New York and Vermont border. Hunters from nearby towns like Whitehall, Fair Haven VT, and Hampton regularly make Granville a destination for outdoor services. The shop is also accessible to sportsmen coming down from the Adirondack foothills to the north.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a fur hat or garment made from a hide I bring in from my own harvest?
Yes, bringing in your own legally harvested hide for custom fur work is exactly the kind of project a shop like this is built for. You'd want to call ahead to discuss the species, condition of the hide, and what kind of garment or accessory you have in mind before dropping anything off.
What's the difference between a bear rug and a full body bear mount?
A bear rug lays flat and typically includes the head, claws, and full hide spread open on a felt backing, making it a dramatic floor or wall piece. A full body mount positions the bear in a lifelike standing or action pose, which is more striking but also significantly more expensive and requires more wall or floor space.
Does the shop work with deer antlers that were naturally shed rather than harvested?
Shed antler mounting is a popular option for shed hunters who find impressive racks in the woods each spring. A studio can mount shed antlers on a plaque or incorporate them into a decorative display even without a hide or skull.
Are fur clothing items made from farmed or wild-harvested furs?
In a shop that pairs taxidermy with fur goods in a hunting community, wild-harvested furs from legally taken animals are typically the focus. If provenance matters to you, ask the shop directly about where their fur materials originate.
How do I know if a taxidermist is properly handling the legal requirements for my specimen?
Licensed taxidermists in New York are required to keep records of all specimens they receive, including species, quantity, and customer information. For certain species, you may need to provide your hunting license number or tag documentation, so bring those along when you drop off your animal.
Can Granville-area hunters get their mounts done before the next deer season?
That depends on when you drop off your specimen and the studio's current workload. Most taxidermists who receive deer in November are working through spring and summer to fill those orders, so a twelve-month turnaround is realistic. For a faster result, ask whether the studio offers rush services.
