About Immortal Taxidermy

Immortal Taxidermy is based in Jacksonville, North Carolina, a city closely tied to Camp Lejeune and surrounded by Onslow County's rich hunting and coastal fishing territory. The area gives hunters access to whitetail deer, black bear, and wild turkey, while the nearby Atlantic coast and New River offer excellent fishing. With a 3.0 rating from 2 reviews, it's worth having a direct conversation with the studio about your specific project before committing.

Services

Taxidermy

Services & Process

Taxidermists in the Jacksonville area handle everything from basic shoulder mounts for deer taken from Onslow County game lands to full body mounts for trophy animals. Fish mounts are common here given the proximity to coastal waters, covering both saltwater species like redfish and flounder and freshwater catches from inland rivers. Bird mounts are another specialty, particularly for waterfowl and wild turkey, which are popular game birds throughout this part of eastern North Carolina.

Service Area

Immortal Taxidermy serves Jacksonville and the broader Onslow County area, including communities like Swansboro, Richlands, and Sneads Ferry. Hunters and anglers from the surrounding coastal plain frequently use Jacksonville-based studios given the city's central location within this region of eastern NC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount saltwater fish caught near Jacksonville?
Yes, coastal species like redfish, flounder, and speckled trout are commonly mounted by studios in the Jacksonville area. Many taxidermists offer reproduction mounts for saltwater fish, which hold up better over time than skin mounts and don't require you to sacrifice the fish.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a reproduction mount for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual fish's skin stretched over a form, while a reproduction is a fiberglass replica painted to match your fish's exact coloring. Reproductions are more durable and allow catch-and-release anglers to commemorate a fish without keeping it.
Do you handle black bear mounts?
Black bear is common game in eastern North Carolina, and many local taxidermists handle full body mounts, rug mounts, and skull work for bears. Be sure to confirm that the studio has experience with large game before dropping off a bear, as it requires more space and different techniques than deer work.
How should I store my deer hide if I can't get it to you right away?
Cape the deer as soon as possible and turn the hide inside out, then bag it and freeze it flat. Avoid leaving it in a truck bed or garage where heat and moisture can cause the hair to slip, which can't be repaired once it happens.
Can I request a specific pose for my mount?
Most taxidermists offer multiple pose options for each type of animal, from straight forward to upward turns and alert positions. Bringing reference photos of poses you like helps the taxidermist understand exactly what you're looking for before they start.
Is taxidermy work guaranteed?
Policies vary by studio, but reputable taxidermists typically stand behind their workmanship for a set period after pickup. Ask about any guarantee before you leave your specimen, and inspect the finished mount carefully before taking it home.
