Frequently Asked Questions

What's a European mount and is it cheaper than a traditional shoulder mount?
A European mount is a cleaned and whitened skull with the antlers still attached, displayed without a hide or form. It's typically significantly less expensive than a full shoulder mount and has become a popular modern display style for hunters who take several deer each season.
Can you mount a coyote or other predators taken in Maury County?
Yes, predator mounts including coyote, bobcat, and fox are services many taxidermists offer. Full body mounts or rug-style mounts are common options, and they make striking display pieces for hunters who pursue non-game or nuisance species.
How do I transport a turkey to the studio without damaging the feathers?
Keep the bird as cool as possible and avoid folding or compressing the feathers more than necessary. Slide it into a large plastic bag or wrap it loosely, and get it to the studio within a day of the harvest if you can, or freeze it carefully if you need more time.
Do taxidermists in rural areas charge less than those in cities?
Pricing varies more by the individual studio's skill level and overhead than by location. Some rural studios charge less because their costs are lower, but experienced taxidermists in small towns often charge rates comparable to city shops because quality work commands fair prices anywhere.
What happens if my deer hide has damage from the shot or field dressing?
Skilled taxidermists can repair many types of hide damage, including bullet holes and accidental cuts. The key is getting the animal to the studio quickly and in good condition so the taxidermist has the most options available for repair work.
Is there a deposit required when I drop off my animal?
Most taxidermy studios require a deposit at drop-off, typically ranging from 30 to 50 percent of the total cost. This covers materials and reserves your spot in the queue, so ask about payment terms when you call to arrange your drop-off.
