Frequently Asked Questions

Is Jack's Taxidermy a good option for Twin Cities metro hunters?

How do I transport a deer cape to a taxidermist?
Roll the cape with the hair out and keep it in a sealed bag in a cooler or frozen if you can't get to the shop right away. Avoid leaving it in a warm truck for extended periods, as slippage can ruin the hide.
Can I request a specific pose for my deer mount?

Does Jack's Taxidermy do waterfowl mounts?
Waterfowl mounting is common among Minnesota taxidermists, especially given the strong duck and goose hunting culture in the Anoka County area. Contact the shop to confirm current offerings and pricing.
What's a fair deposit to expect when dropping off a specimen?
Many taxidermists require a deposit of 30 to 50 percent at drop-off, with the balance due at pickup. Make sure to get any pricing and timeline agreements in writing before leaving your animal.
