About Hunted Dreams Taxidermy

Hunted Dreams Taxidermy is based in Kunkletown, Pennsylvania, a rural community in Monroe County tucked into the Pocono Mountain region. This part of eastern PA is prime hunting territory, with vast state game lands, the Delaware State Forest, and a long tradition of whitetail and black bear hunting. Monroe County sees serious hunting pressure each season, meaning local taxidermists here are well-versed in the species and conditions that define Pocono harvests. For hunters who spend their seasons in these mountains, having a studio this close to the action is a genuine convenience.

Services & Process

Deer shoulder mounts are the bread and butter, involving careful cape preparation, form fitting, and finishing work including eye setting and lip detail to achieve a realistic look. Black bear work is notable in this region, with full body mounts and rug mounts both being common requests from Pocono hunters. Rug mounts require the hide to be tanned flat and fitted with a felt backing, often with the head mounted in an open-mouth position. Antler and skull work, from polished antler plaques to full European mounts, gives hunters display options at different price points.

Service Area

Hunted Dreams Taxidermy is located in Kunkletown, PA and is well-positioned to serve hunters throughout Monroe County and neighboring Carbon and Northampton Counties. Sportsmen from Stroudsburg, the Poconos resort area, and the western Pocono communities regularly look to local studios for their trophy work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do with a black bear after harvesting it in the Poconos?
Get the bear to a cooler or a taxidermist as fast as possible since bears are large animals that retain heat and can spoil quickly. Contact the studio before drop-off so they can prepare for the size of the specimen.
What's involved in a bear rug mount?
The hide is skinned out, salted, and sent to a tannery, then returned and fitted over a foam backing with a mounted open-mouth head. The finished rug can be displayed on a wall or floor and is one of the most dramatic ways to preserve a bear harvest.
How do I pick the right eye color and style for my deer mount?
Your taxidermist will guide you through options, but most whitetail mounts use a brown glass eye with a natural oval pupil. Regional deer often have subtle coloring differences, and an experienced local studio will know what looks authentic.
Can I get a mount done in time for hunting season display or a specific event?
Rush orders are sometimes possible but usually cost more and depend on the studio's current schedule. It's always better to ask upfront than to assume a standard turnaround will meet your timeline.
Is it worth mounting a smaller or average-sized deer, or just big trophies?
Many hunters mount deer that are personally significant, whether it's a first harvest, a special hunt with family, or a deer taken under unique circumstances. The size of the rack matters less than the memory behind the hunt.
Do Pocono-area taxidermists work with out-of-state hunters who harvested game here?
Most do, and it's common during peak season when hunters travel to Monroe County for big game. You'll want to confirm the studio can store the mount until you can return or discuss shipping options for pickup.
