Frequently Asked Questions

What waterfowl species can Gordies Taxidermy mount?
Most taxidermists in the Fargo area handle the full range of ducks and geese common to the region, including mallards, pintails, teal, Canada geese, and snow geese. If you have a less common species, it's worth calling ahead to confirm they have experience with it.
How do I prepare a pheasant for mounting after harvesting it?
Keep the feathers as clean and undamaged as possible, and avoid gutting the bird if you plan to have it mounted. Place it in a plastic bag without squishing the feathers and freeze it promptly, ideally within a couple of hours of harvest.
What's the typical cost of a whitetail deer shoulder mount in North Dakota?
Prices vary by taxidermist and the complexity of the pose, but shoulder mounts in this region commonly range from around $400 to $700 or more for premium work. Getting a quote upfront is the best way to budget for your specific project.
Can I get a walleye or northern pike mounted in Fargo?
Yes, fish mounts are a regular service for taxidermists in the Fargo area given the region's excellent fishing on the Red River and nearby lakes. Both traditional skin mounts and fiberglass reproductions are typically available options.
How long will my trophy mount last if I take care of it properly?
A well-crafted mount kept out of direct sunlight and away from high humidity can last for decades without significant deterioration. Occasional dusting and keeping it away from moisture are the main things you can do to protect your investment.
Do I need to make an appointment before dropping off a specimen?
It's always a good idea to call ahead rather than just showing up, especially during the busy fall hunting season when shops can get backlogged quickly. A quick call lets you confirm hours, discuss your project, and make sure the taxidermist is ready to receive your specimen.
