Services & Process

Harrison's Taxidermy handles the range of preservation work that Berks County hunters and anglers need. Whitetail deer shoulder mounts are the most common request, with careful attention to cape condition and natural posing making a significant difference in the final result. Fish mounts, particularly for Schuylkill River and local pond species like bass and pike, are also part of the shop's work. Skull cleaning, rug mounts for black bear taken in Pennsylvania's northern zones, and antler mounting give clients options across different budgets and display preferences.

Service Area

Harrison's Taxidermy serves Leesport and the surrounding Berks County area, including communities along the Schuylkill Valley such as Reading, Bernville, and Hamburg. Hunters and anglers from northern Berks County and the Blue Mountain region also bring their work to Leesport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Harrison's do bear rug mounts for Pennsylvania black bear?
Bear rug mounts are a specialty request that some taxidermists handle and others don't take on due to the complexity involved. Call Harrison's directly to ask whether they currently accept bear work and what the pricing and timeline look like for a rug mount.
How do I get a good photo of my fish before it dies for color reference?
Take several photos immediately after landing the fish, before removing it from the water if possible, since colors start fading within minutes. Good photos give the taxidermist a reference for accurate color reproduction, which matters a lot since a mounted fish is only as accurate as the reference you provide.
What's involved in a full body deer mount versus a shoulder mount?
A full body mount requires the entire hide along with leg, foot, and body work that goes well beyond a shoulder mount in both complexity and cost. Most hunters stick with shoulder mounts for wall display, but a full body piece can be a striking display for a cabin or sporting room.
Can Harrison's help with antler mounting if I don't want a full skull or shoulder mount?
Antler mounting, sometimes called a panel mount, attaches the antler plate to a finished wooden or decorative panel for wall display. It's one of the most affordable options for preserving a buck's rack and works well when the cape wasn't saved or you simply prefer a cleaner look.
What happens if my cape was damaged before I got to the taxidermist?
Minor damage like small cuts or hide slippage can sometimes be repaired, but severe slippage or decomposition may make the cape unusable. Contact Harrison's as soon as possible after the harvest to get advice on whether the cape is salvageable before making the drive.
Are there any legal requirements for mounting certain species in Pennsylvania?
Some species require documentation proving they were legally harvested, and others may have restrictions on mounting or transport across state lines. Pennsylvania Game Commission regulations cover most of what you'll encounter, and a good taxidermist will flag any concerns when you bring in your specimen.
