Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with specimens from out-of-state hunting trips?
Yes, many clients bring back deer, elk, or other game from out-of-state trips and want a local taxidermist to handle the mount. As long as the specimen is properly capped, cooled, and transported legally, the studio can work with what you bring in.
What is a European skull mount and how does it differ from a shoulder mount?
A European mount involves cleaning and whitening the skull and antlers without any hide or form, resulting in a stark, natural display. It's typically less expensive than a shoulder mount and has become increasingly popular among hunters who want a bold, uncluttered look on the wall.
Can you mount fish from the Huron River or local Washtenaw County lakes?
Absolutely, local catches are among the most common fish-mounting requests. Whether it's a bass from Ford Lake or a pike from farther north, the studio can work from the actual fish or from accurate measurements and photos for a reproduction.
What should I do if I can't bring my deer cape in right away?
If you can't drop off immediately, freeze the cape as quickly as possible to prevent slippage and bacterial damage. Don't leave it at room temperature for more than a few hours, and call the studio ahead of your visit so they know what's coming.
How do you determine the pose for a deer shoulder mount?
You and the taxidermist will look at options together, often using reference photos or display forms to find a pose that fits your wall space and the character of the animal. Straight, turned, and upward-looking poses are all common, and each creates a different visual feel in the room.
Are there taxidermy services available for small mammals or reptiles?
Many taxidermists work with species beyond deer and fish, including squirrels, rabbits, foxes, turtles, and snakes. It's best to call ahead and confirm what the studio accepts, since some studios specialize while others cover a broader range of species.
