Services & Process

Jacobson Taxidermy handles the work that matters most to central Minnesota sportsmen. Deer shoulder mounts are the bread and butter, requiring careful hide preparation, form selection, and finishing to produce a lifelike display piece. Skull cleaning, sometimes called a European mount, is a popular and more affordable option that results in a cleaned and whitened skull. Fish mounts for species like walleye, bass, and northern pike are also likely offered, with options for skin mounts or fiberglass reproductions depending on your preference.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a European mount, and is it cheaper than a shoulder mount?
A European mount involves cleaning all the tissue off the skull and whitening it for a minimalist bone display. It's typically significantly less expensive than a full shoulder mount and has become increasingly popular with hunters who prefer a clean, modern look.
How do I get in touch if there's no phone number listed?
In small towns, word-of-mouth and in-person visits are common ways to connect with local taxidermists. You can also try asking at local sporting goods stores or hunting supply shops in the Annandale area, as they often know who's operating nearby.
Can I request a specific pose for my deer mount?
Yes, most taxidermists offer a range of head positions and neck angles, from a relaxed forward look to an alert or upward pose. Bringing a photo of the pose you have in mind is a great way to communicate exactly what you're looking for.
How long should I expect to wait for my mount to be done?
Turnaround times in Minnesota vary widely based on the taxidermist's current workload and the time of year. Deer season submissions often face the longest wait, sometimes six months to a year, while off-season projects may come back faster.
Do taxidermists in Annandale work on antler mounts or shed antlers?
Antler mounting, where a set of antlers is attached to a plaque or panel, is a common and relatively quick service. Some taxidermists also work with shed antlers for decorative displays, so it's worth asking what options are available.
What species of fish are most commonly mounted in this part of Minnesota?
Walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, and crappie are among the most popular fish mounts in central Minnesota's lake country. Muskie mounts are also requested, though they're often done as reproductions due to the fish's cultural status as a catch-and-release species.
