Services & Process

Trophy shoulder mounts are a cornerstone service, involving tanning and stretching the cape over an anatomically correct foam form to capture a lifelike expression. Full body mounts go further, recreating the entire animal in a dynamic pose suited for home display or institutional collections. Bird mounts, whether turkey fans or full-body pheasants, require delicate feather handling and wiring to achieve natural stances. Fish mounts for species like bass, walleye, and trout caught in Lebanon County's streams and nearby waterways are also a common request.

Service Area

Little Stream Taxidermy serves Lebanon, PA and the surrounding Lebanon County area. Customers from Palmyra, Annville, and even over the hills into Dauphin County find this location convenient for dropping off game taken in the central Pennsylvania region.

Frequently Asked Questions

What species do Lebanon County taxidermists most commonly work with?
Whitetail deer shoulder mounts are far and away the most common request, followed by turkey fans and full strutter mounts. Bear mounts and fish from local streams and lakes also come through regularly.
How do I know what pose to choose for my deer mount?
Most studios have catalogs or display samples showing the range of poses, from a straight-ahead sneak pose to a full upright alert. Think about where the mount will hang and what angle you'll see it from most often.
Is a full body mount significantly more expensive than a shoulder mount?
Yes, full body mounts involve considerably more labor, materials, and time, so the price difference is substantial. For most home displays, a shoulder mount delivers strong visual impact at a much more manageable cost.
Can a taxidermist preserve a turkey tail fan on its own?
Absolutely, turkey fan mounts are one of the most requested bird services and are relatively quick to produce compared to full body work. The fan is cleaned, dried, and mounted on a backing panel with the beard and spurs often displayed alongside it.
How should I transport a large fish for mounting?
Wrap the fish in wet paper towels, then in a plastic bag with as much air removed as possible, and keep it on ice without letting it sit in pooled water. Avoid gutting the fish before transport, as that can damage the body shape.
Do taxidermists offer habitat bases or scene-setting displays?
Many do, incorporating natural-looking driftwood, rocks, and foliage bases that place the mount in a realistic environment. These displays are especially popular for fish, birds, and small mammals where context adds to the presentation.
