Frequently Asked Questions

Do you mount turkey trophies from the Massachusetts spring season?
Turkey mounts are a popular request in this part of Massachusetts, where spring turkey hunting is a major tradition. Full-body turkey mounts and fan mounts for the tail feathers are both common options. Bring your bird in as soon as possible after the harvest for the best results.
Can I buy hunting or fishing supplies while dropping off a mount?
Yes, Jeff's operates as both a taxidermist and a hunting and fishing supply shop, so you can handle both on the same visit. This is convenient during busy seasons when every trip matters. It's worth calling (508) 813-8224 ahead of time to confirm current inventory and availability.
What freshwater fish species do you mount in this area?
Largemouth and smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, lake trout, and rainbow trout are among the most commonly mounted species from the lakes and rivers around North Andover. Brook trout mounts are also popular given their presence in Essex County streams. For a trophy catch, a replica mount is a great option if you want to release the fish.
How much does a deer shoulder mount typically cost in Massachusetts?
Prices vary by taxidermist, but deer shoulder mounts in Massachusetts generally range from around $400 to $700 or more depending on the complexity of the work and current material costs. It's best to get a specific quote from Jeff's directly. Prices have risen in recent years due to increased costs for forms, eyes, and finishing materials.
What should I do with a deer cape if I can't get to the shop right away?
If you can't bring the cape in immediately, fold it hair-side out and place it in a plastic bag, then freeze it. Do not let it sit at room temperature for more than a few hours, especially in warmer months. A properly frozen cape can be held for weeks without quality loss.
Do you mount animals harvested out of state?
Most taxidermists in Massachusetts will mount legally harvested game from other states, as long as you can provide documentation showing the animal was taken legally. Many hunters in the North Andover area hunt in New Hampshire or Maine and bring their trophies home for local mounting. Check with Jeff's about any specific paperwork they need.
