About Jankowski Outdoors

Jankowski Outdoors is located in Breesport, New York, a small community in Chemung County situated in the Southern Tier near Elmira. The Chemung River valley and the surrounding hills make this an active area for deer hunters and turkey hunters throughout the season. A shop with "Outdoors" in the name signals a broader connection to the hunting and fishing lifestyle, not just the technical work of preservation. For sportsmen in this part of the state, having a local studio that understands the regional hunting culture is worth a lot.

Taxidermy

Services & Process

A shop branded around the outdoors lifestyle typically covers the core taxidermy services hunters need most. Deer shoulder mounts and full body mounts require careful attention to ear butt placement, eye positioning, and hide tucking to achieve a lifelike result. Turkey mounts are a popular request in Chemung County, where spring season hunting draws dedicated bird hunters. Fish mounting and antler mounting for non-trophy racks are also common services that add value for customers who want something displayable without a full mount.

Service Area

Jankowski Outdoors serves hunters and anglers across Chemung County and the surrounding Southern Tier region, with easy access from Elmira, Horseheads, and Corning. The shop is also well-positioned for customers coming from neighboring Schuyler and Tioga counties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to care for a deer cape before dropping it off?
Field dress your deer promptly and get the cape cooled down as fast as possible, especially in warm fall weather. If you can't deliver it within 24 hours, freeze the cape after removing excess blood and moisture.
Do outdoor taxidermy studios handle wild turkey mounts?
Turkey mounts are one of the more requested services in Chemung County given the active spring turkey season. Full strut poses, strutting fan displays, and simple fan-and-beard wall mounts are all popular choices.
Can I get just the antlers mounted without a full deer shoulder mount?
Antler mounts are a more affordable option that works well for hunters who want to display a rack without the cost of a full shoulder mount. Panels, plaques, and European-style skull mounts are all common formats.
How do I know if a taxidermist does quality work?
Ask to see examples of completed mounts, either in person at the studio or through photos. Look for natural-looking eyes, tight seams around the lips and nose, and ears that hold their shape without folding.
What's a European mount and how does it compare to a shoulder mount?
A European mount displays just the cleaned skull and antlers, typically whitened and mounted on a plaque or panel. It costs significantly less than a shoulder mount and has a clean, modern look that many hunters prefer.
Can taxidermists in the Elmira area handle out-of-state specimens?
Most taxidermists can work with specimens taken in other states, but there are legal requirements around transporting certain game across state lines. Always check the regulations for the state where the animal was harvested before transporting it.
