About Longhorn butcher and taxidermy

Longhorn Butcher and Taxidermy in Pittsville, Maryland combines two essential services that hunters on the Eastern Shore have always needed under the same roof. Pittsville sits in Wicomico County, deep in the flat agricultural landscape of the Delmarva Peninsula where deer hunting, turkey hunting, and waterfowl are serious local traditions. Getting both butchering and mounting done in one stop saves significant time and travel during a busy hunting season. It's a practical setup that reflects how rural Maryland hunters actually operate.

Services & Process

On the taxidermy side, the shop handles deer shoulder mounts, turkey mounts, and likely waterfowl work given the region's strong duck hunting heritage along the coastal marshes nearby. The butcher operation processes deer and other game into custom cuts, ground meat, sausage, and other specialty items that hunters want from their harvest. Having both services under one roof means you can drop off your entire animal and decide on the spot what gets mounted and what gets processed for the freezer. That kind of one-stop service is genuinely useful during a time-sensitive harvest window.

Service Area

Longhorn Butcher and Taxidermy is located in Pittsville, Maryland, serving hunters across Wicomico County and the surrounding Eastern Shore communities. Customers regularly come in from Salisbury, Delmar, and the rural areas of Worcester and Somerset counties. The shop's central Delmarva location makes it accessible for hunters working the wide-open farmland and marshes throughout the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drop off a whole deer and have it both processed and mounted at the same place?
Yes, that's exactly what a combined butcher and taxidermy shop like Longhorn offers. You bring in the full deer, decide which portion gets mounted and which gets processed, and the shop handles both from there. It saves you from coordinating between two separate businesses during a busy hunting week.
How quickly can game meat be processed at a butcher shop attached to a taxidermist?
Processing times vary by season and workload, but many shops can complete standard deer processing within a few days to a week. During the peak of rut season, expect slightly longer waits as volume picks up significantly.
What custom cuts or products can a game butcher typically make from a deer?
Most game butchers offer standard cuts like roasts, steaks, and chops, plus ground venison, snack sticks, summer sausage, and breakfast sausage blends. Some shops also offer specialty seasoning options so you can customize the flavor profile of your processed meat.
Is deer mounting popular among Eastern Shore hunters in Maryland?
Absolutely. The Eastern Shore produces large-bodied whitetail deer with impressive antler growth, and many hunters choose to mount bucks that score well or carry sentimental value. Shoulder mounts are by far the most common choice, though euro mounts have gained popularity for their lower cost.
Does bringing a deer to a combined butcher and taxidermist cost more than using separate shops?
Not necessarily. The convenience often comes at comparable pricing to separate shops, and you save on travel time and the coordination effort of managing two separate pickups. It's worth calling ahead to get pricing on both services so you know what to expect.
What should I do if I'm not sure whether I want a mount before I drop off my deer?
Tell the shop staff upfront that you're undecided. A good shop will keep the cape intact and in good condition while you make up your mind, rather than processing it immediately. Waiting too long to decide can compromise the cape's quality, so try to make a call within a day or two.
