About Jersey Jay's Taxidermy

Jersey Jay's Taxidermy is located in Newton, New Jersey, right in the heart of Sussex County, which is one of the most active hunting regions in the state.

New Jersey hunters deal with specific regulations and seasons, so working with a local taxidermist who understands the regional game makes the whole experience smoother. This studio serves a passionate community of Garden State sportsmen.

Services & Process

Jersey Jay's handles the full range of services that NJ hunters and anglers need, including deer shoulder mounts, turkey fans and full-body bird mounts, and fish taxidermy for species pulled from local waters like the Paulinskill River and Lake Hopatcong. Bear mounts are a consistent request in this part of Sussex County, given New Jersey's active black bear population. Skull cleaning and antler mounting with decorative panels round out the options for customers who want a display piece without a full skin mount.

Service Area

Jersey Jay's Taxidermy serves Newton and all of Sussex County, including towns like Andover, Sparta, Vernon, and Hamburg. Hunters from Warren County and the northern Morris County area also bring their specimens here given the studio's location near the main hunting corridors of northwest New Jersey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does New Jersey require any documentation when dropping off a harvested animal?
New Jersey hunters are required to tag their game at the time of harvest, and that tag should stay with the animal when you bring it to the taxidermist. Your taxidermist may ask to record your license and tag information, especially for deer and bear, so bring that paperwork along.
Can you mount a black bear taken during the New Jersey bear season?
Yes, black bear mounts are a specialty service in Sussex County given the local population and annual bear season. Full-body mounts and rug mounts are both options, and getting the bear skinned and cooled quickly in the field is the most important step to ensure quality.
How do I transport a deer head to the taxidermist legally in New Jersey?
Keep the NJ deer tag attached to the antler or ear until the taxidermist has logged the specimen. Transport the head in a cooler or sealed bag to prevent any issues with transport regulations, and avoid leaving it in a hot vehicle.
Do you offer fish mounts for freshwater species caught in New Jersey?
Freshwater fish mounts are available for species like largemouth bass, walleye, and trout caught in New Jersey waters. Reproduction mounts are a great option if you practice catch and release, since they're made from a cast and painted to match your specific fish using photos.
What's a turkey fan mount and how is it different from a full-body mount?
A turkey fan mount preserves just the tail fan, beard, and sometimes the spurs, displayed on a decorative panel or plaque. It's more compact and affordable than a full-body mount, and it's a popular choice for hunters who want to display their bird without taking up a lot of wall space.
How long has Jersey Jay's been in business in Newton?
For specific information about the studio's history and years of operation, the best approach is to call Jersey Jay's directly at (551) 206-2623. Local taxidermists in Sussex County typically build their business through years of community relationships and repeat customers.
