Services & Process

Jeff's Classic Taxidermy focuses on the traditional mounts that Maine sportsmen care about most. Shoulder mounts for whitetail deer are the bread and butter of any Maine studio, and a classic approach emphasizes clean forms, tight hide work, and natural eye placement. Full body mounts are available for smaller mammals, birds, and fish, giving collectors and hunters a more dramatic display option. The studio also handles antler mounting for hunters who want their rack preserved without a full shoulder mount, which keeps costs down while still honoring the harvest.

Service Area

Jeff's Classic Taxidermy is conveniently located for customers throughout the Bangor, Brewer, and Ellsworth corridor. Towns like Orrington, Holden, Bucksport, and Hampden are all within a short drive. The studio's proximity to Route 1A and the Bangor area makes it one of the more accessible taxidermists in eastern Maine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of animals does Jeff's Classic Taxidermy mount?
The studio handles deer, bear, turkey, fish, and smaller game animals common to the Maine hunting season. If you have an unusual specimen, it's worth calling to ask since experienced taxidermists often take on non-standard projects.
How close is Jeff's Classic Taxidermy to downtown Bangor?
Brewer is just across the Penobscot River from Bangor, making it a quick trip from anywhere in the metro area. Most Bangor-area customers can reach the studio in under 15 minutes.
Can I get a turkey fan mount or full turkey mount?
Turkey mounts are popular in Maine, and options typically include a fan and beard display, a strutting full body mount, or a wall pedestal mount. The full body strut mount is the most dramatic but also the most expensive option.
What should I do with my deer cape if the weather is warm?
Warm weather is tough on hides, so get the cape to the freezer as fast as you can if you can't reach the studio right away. Avoid salting unless you know what you're doing, since too much salt in the wrong places can cause problems with the tanning process.
Do you offer rush orders for taxidermy work?
Rush orders are possible at some studios for an additional fee, but it depends heavily on the current workload. Calling ahead at (207) 922-2640 and explaining your situation is the best way to find out what's realistic.
Is it better to bring in the whole animal or just the cape and antlers?
For a shoulder mount, you just need the cape, cut generously behind the shoulders, and the antler plate. Bringing the whole animal is usually unnecessary and harder to transport, though some taxidermists prefer to do the caping themselves if you're unsure.
