About Gertz Taxidermy

Services & Process

Gertz Taxidermy likely covers the full range of work that hunters and anglers in the Cincinnati metro area need. Fish reproductions are common requests, where measurements and photos are taken and a fiberglass replica is painted to match the original catch. Deer and wild turkey mounts are standard offerings as well, covering everything from skinning and preserving the hide to final finishing with glass eyes and touch-up paint. Antler-only mounts on decorative panels are a simpler, lower-cost option many customers also request.

Service Area

Gertz Taxidermy serves customers in Loveland and across the greater Clermont and Hamilton County areas. Hunters and anglers coming in from Milford, Batavia, Mason, and the eastern Cincinnati suburbs all have a reasonable drive to this Loveland studio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount a fish I caught and released if I took measurements?
Yes, many taxidermists offer reproduction mounts based on length, girth, and photos of your fish. These fiberglass replicas are actually more durable than skin mounts and can be just as realistic when properly painted.
What species of fish are most commonly mounted in the Loveland area?
Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and muskie are the most requested freshwater species in this part of Ohio. The Little Miami River and nearby lakes produce strong catches that anglers often want to preserve.
How do I transport a fish I want mounted without damaging it?
Wrap the fish in a wet cloth and place it in a sealed plastic bag, then freeze it as soon as possible. Avoid bending the tail or fins, since damage to fin rays can affect how the finished mount looks.
How long does a fish mount typically take to complete?
Most fish mounts take between three and eight months, depending on the studio's current workload and the complexity of the piece. Reproduction mounts using fiberglass blanks can sometimes be completed faster than traditional skin mounts.
Do taxidermists offer any kind of warranty on their work?
Policies vary by studio, but reputable taxidermists stand behind the quality of their work and will address issues like cracking or eye displacement if they result from the mounting process. It's a good question to ask before you commit.
Is a deposit required, and how much should I expect to pay upfront?
Most taxidermists require a deposit of 30 to 50 percent of the total cost before starting work to cover materials. The balance is typically due when you pick up the finished piece.
