Services & Process

Man Outdoors handles the taxidermy needs that Spartanburg County hunters and anglers regularly bring through the door. Deer shoulder mounts are the most requested, covering everything from field cape preparation guidance to final finishing with hand-painted detail work around the face. Antler mounting is a simpler alternative where cleaned antler racks are mounted on plaques or driftwood bases without the full skin work. Fish taxidermy is also part of the mix, preserving memorable catches from local lakes like Lake Bowen or the broader Upstate region in lifelike form.

Service Area

Man Outdoors is based in Duncan, SC and serves hunters and anglers throughout Spartanburg County, including customers from Lyman, Inman, Moore, and Wellford. The shop is also convenient for Greenville County residents looking for quality Upstate taxidermy without driving into a larger city.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get my deer antlers mounted without a full shoulder mount?
Yes, antler-only mounts are a popular and more affordable option. The antlers are typically cleaned, finished, and mounted on a wooden plaque or panel that can be personalized with location, date, and score details.
What fish species do taxidermists in the Upstate SC area commonly mount?
Largemouth bass are the most common request, but taxidermists also work on striped bass, crappie, catfish, and trout depending on where customers fish. Many shops offer replica mounts for catch-and-release anglers who don't keep the fish.
What's a replica fish mount versus a skin mount?
A replica is cast from a mold and hand-painted to match the species, so the actual fish doesn't need to be kept. A skin mount uses the real fish's skin stretched over a form. Replicas tend to last longer and allow you to release the fish.
How do I find out if a taxidermist is currently accepting new work?
Call directly before showing up with a specimen. Busy seasons, particularly October through January in South Carolina, can fill a shop's schedule quickly and some taxidermists stop accepting new work temporarily.
Is there a difference in quality between hobbyist and professional taxidermists?
Yes, significantly. Trained and experienced taxidermists use commercial-grade forms, quality glass eyes, and refined finishing techniques that produce lifelike results. Asking to see previous work or a portfolio before committing is completely reasonable.
Can taxidermists create habitat displays with mounts?
Habitat displays incorporate natural materials like wood, rock, moss, or water effects to create a scene around the mount. They're popular for fish and bird mounts especially, and they add visual context that makes the piece more striking on display.
