About Krause's Taxidermy Studio

Krause's Taxidermy Studio in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania combines full taxidermy services with a sporting goods operation, making it a one-stop destination for outdoorsmen in Schuylkill County. Pine Grove sits along the southern edge of the Appalachian ridges, surrounded by state game lands and the kind of mixed hardwood terrain that produces quality whitetail deer every season. The combination of taxidermy work and sporting goods under one roof means hunters can pick up gear, ammunition, or licenses while also dropping off or picking up their trophies. It's a practical setup that reflects how rural PA hunting culture actually works.

Services & Process

Krause's Taxidermy Studio handles the standard trophy preservation work expected from a full-service PA taxidermist. Whitetail shoulder mounts are the bread and butter, requiring precise form selection, quality tanning, and careful finishing to replicate a deer's natural look. Fish mounts, both skin and reproduction styles, serve the anglers who work the trout streams and bass lakes of Schuylkill County. The sporting goods side of the business likely carries hunting licenses, field gear, and supplies that complement the taxidermy services directly.

Service Area

Krause's Taxidermy Studio serves Pine Grove and Schuylkill County hunters, along with customers from Lebanon, Dauphin, and northern Berks County. The shop's combination of taxidermy and sporting goods draws outdoorsmen from across the surrounding ridge-and-valley region of central Pennsylvania.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you sell hunting licenses and gear in addition to taxidermy services?
Krause's operates as both a taxidermy studio and a sporting goods provider, so you'll likely find hunting and fishing supplies alongside the mount work. It's worth calling ahead to confirm what's currently in stock for your specific needs.
What types of mounts are most popular in the Pine Grove area?
Whitetail deer shoulder mounts are consistently the most requested work in Schuylkill County given the strong local deer hunting tradition. Turkey and bear mounts are also popular during their respective seasons, and fish mounts come in throughout the year.
Can I see examples of past work before committing to a mount?
Most taxidermy studios display finished mounts in the shop, and many artists maintain a portfolio of past projects. Looking at actual finished work gives you a clear idea of the quality and style you can expect from that particular taxidermist.
What is a habitat base and should I consider one for my mount?
A habitat base incorporates natural materials like driftwood, rocks, grass, or leaves to create a scene around the mounted animal. It adds visual impact and context to the display, though it does increase the overall cost of the finished piece.
How do I care for a mounted trophy once I bring it home?
Keep mounts away from direct sunlight and areas with high humidity, both of which can fade colors and damage the hide over time. Dust periodically with a soft brush, and avoid using household cleaners or sprays near the mount.
Is it possible to repair or restore an old mount that's been damaged?
Yes, many taxidermists offer restoration work on older mounts that have suffered fading, moth damage, or structural issues. The extent and cost of restoration depends on the damage, so bring it in for an honest evaluation before deciding whether restoration is worth it.
