Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a deer shoulder mount take in Martinsville?
Most deer shoulder mounts take anywhere from four to eight months, depending on the shop's current workload. If you drop off your cape right after the November rut, expect to be near the back of a long queue.
Do I need to bring in the whole deer or just the cape?
For a shoulder mount, you just need the cape, which is the skin from the shoulders forward, along with the skull plate and antlers. Make sure the cape is properly cooled or frozen before transport to prevent slippage.
Can I buy taxidermy supplies here for a DIY project?
Yes, the supply side of the business means you can pick up forms, eyes, hide paste, and finishing materials for your own work. It's worth calling ahead to confirm what's currently in stock.
What's the best way to preserve a fish before bringing it in?
Keep the fish wet and cool immediately after the catch, then wrap it in a damp cloth and place it in a bag before freezing. Avoid letting it dry out, and never put it directly on ice, which can cause freezer burn and damage the scales.
Are skull cleaning services available?
Skull cleaning is a popular service that produces a clean, white skull mount from a deer or other game animal. Methods vary by shop but commonly include maceration, beetle colonies, or boiling, each with different results and timelines.
How much does a typical deer mount cost in the Martinsville area?
Deer shoulder mounts in Indiana generally run between $400 and $700, depending on the quality of work and the specific shop. Full body mounts and European skull mounts fall at different price points, so it's best to call for a current quote.
