Services & Process

Lane Taxidermy covers the core services Pennsylvania hunters need most. Deer shoulder mounts are the bread and butter here, requiring precise form selection, ear turning, and eye setting to achieve a lifelike result. Turkey mounts are also popular in this region given Chester County's healthy turkey population, with full body and fan mounts both being common requests. Smaller projects like squirrel mounts, antler plaques, and skull cleaning give hunters options for preserving memories beyond just the big game trophies.

Lane Taxidermy serves Honey Brook and the surrounding Chester County townships, including Elverson, Narvon, and Morgantown. Hunters from Lancaster County's western edge also have easy access, making this studio a practical option for a wide stretch of Pennsylvania farm country.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you mount wild turkeys, or just deer?
Wild turkey mounts are a popular request in Chester County and most local taxidermists handle them regularly. Common options include full body mounts in strut or standing poses, fan and beard displays, and head mounts, so there are choices for different budgets.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a full body mount?
A shoulder mount includes the head, neck, and upper chest of the animal, which is the most common and affordable option for deer. A full body mount preserves the entire animal in a specific pose and costs significantly more due to the additional labor and materials involved.
How do I properly cape a deer in the field?
Make your cut well behind the front legs and leave extra hide around the neck so the taxidermist has enough to work with. Avoid cutting through the brisket too high, and get the cape cooled down quickly to prevent hair slippage in warm weather.
Can you work with a damaged cape?
Minor damage like small cuts or holes can often be repaired during the mounting process, but significant damage may limit your options or affect the final appearance. It's always worth bringing in the cape and letting the taxidermist assess it before making any decisions.
Is there a deposit required when I drop off my specimen?
Many taxidermists require a deposit at drop-off, typically a percentage of the total quoted price, to cover materials and secure your place in the queue. Ask about payment expectations upfront so there are no surprises when you come to pick up the finished mount.
How long can I store a frozen cape before it's unusable?
A properly frozen cape can typically be stored for several months without significant quality loss, but longer storage increases the risk of freezer burn and hide degradation. Double-bagging the cape and removing excess air before freezing helps preserve it better for extended periods.
