Services & Process

J & K Taxidermy likely covers the full range of trophy work expected of a North Dakota taxidermist, starting with deer shoulder mounts and extending to full body mounts for larger predators or record-class specimens. Antler mounting services, where shed or harvested antlers are cleaned, finished, and displayed on a panel or plaque, are a popular lower-cost option for hunters who want to preserve the antlers without a full mount. Bird work including pheasant, grouse, and waterfowl species is almost certainly part of the service list in this region. Skull cleaning for deer, coyote, and other species is another practical service hunters in this area regularly request.

J & K Taxidermy serves customers throughout the Fargo metro area and the surrounding region, including West Fargo, Harwood, and communities across eastern North Dakota. Customers from the Minnesota border region, including Moorhead and Dilworth, also have convenient access to Fargo-based taxidermists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What poses are available for a whitetail deer shoulder mount?
Most taxidermists offer a wide range of poses including upright, semi-sneak, full sneak, and turning poses that show off the neck and antler profile from different angles. Your taxidermist can show you reference photos to help you decide what looks best for your particular buck.
Can J & K Taxidermy handle antler mounting without a full deer mount?
Antler panels and plaques are a popular option for hunters who want to display their antlers at a lower cost than a full shoulder mount. The antlers are cleaned, the skull cap is prepared, and everything is mounted on a finished plaque or European-style panel.
What happens if the hide on my deer is damaged when I bring it in?
Minor cuts or damage can often be repaired during the mounting process, but significant hide damage or hair slippage from improper cooling can limit what's possible. Your taxidermist will be honest with you upfront about what the finished result can realistically look like.
Is it possible to get a European skull mount instead of a shoulder mount?
Yes, European mounts, which involve cleaning all the flesh from the skull and whitening the bone, are a popular alternative that many hunters prefer for their clean, modern look. They're also generally less expensive and faster to complete than a traditional shoulder mount.
Do taxidermists in Fargo handle out-of-state game brought back to North Dakota?
Yes, most taxidermists can work on game harvested in other states as long as it was legally taken and you have the appropriate documentation. It's a good idea to check the specific regulations for the state where the animal was harvested before transporting it.
How should I handle a pheasant in the field to keep it in good condition for mounting?
Avoid shooting the bird in the head or neck area if mounting is your goal, and keep feathers smooth rather than ruffling them during handling. Get the bird into a cool environment quickly and freeze it individually wrapped so the feathers aren't compressed before you can get it to the taxidermist.
