Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount a muskie or walleye caught from the Wisconsin River?
Fish mounts are a specialty for many taxidermists in central Wisconsin given how popular fishing is in the Dells area and along the river corridor. Both skin mounts and reproduction mounts are options, with reproductions offering better color retention over time.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a reproduction for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual fish skin stretched over a form, while a reproduction is a fiberglass cast painted to match the fish's original colors. Reproductions have become more popular because they don't fade over time and you can release the fish alive after measuring it.
Do you take in waterfowl mounts like Canada geese or ducks?
Most full-service taxidermists in central Wisconsin work on waterfowl mounts, which require careful feather cleaning and positioning to look natural. It's best to keep the bird as intact as possible after the harvest and refrigerate it until you can bring it in.
How far in advance should I contact a taxidermist before deer season?
Reaching out in September or even late summer is smart, especially in popular hunting areas like central Wisconsin where studios book up quickly. Knowing the deposit amount and drop-off process ahead of time makes everything smoother after a successful harvest.
Can the finished mount handle being in a cabin or garage setting?
Most professionally finished mounts hold up well in indoor environments, but extreme humidity swings in garages and unheated cabins can cause cracking or warping over time. Climate-controlled spaces are always the better option for long-term preservation.
Do you offer rug mounts for bear or coyote?
Rug mounts are offered by many Wisconsin taxidermists, particularly for black bear, which is commonly harvested in the northern part of the state. Ask Hammond Taxidermy directly about species availability and whether head-on or flat rug styles are offered.
