Master Taxidermy Studio is based in Tavares, Florida, a small city on the shores of Lake Dora in Lake County, a region known for serious freshwater fishing and deer hunting.

It's a no-frills, craft-focused operation.

Services & Process

Master Taxidermy Studio focuses on the full range of traditional taxidermy services you'd expect from a serious Central Florida shop. Fish mounts are a natural specialty here given the region's reputation for largemouth bass fishing, with lifelike reproductions or skin mounts available depending on your preference. Deer shoulder mounts and full body mounts for whitetail taken during Florida's hunting season are standard offerings. Skull cleaning and antler mounting services round out the menu for hunters who want a clean, natural display without a full skin mount.

Service Area

Master Taxidermy Studio serves Tavares and the surrounding Lake County communities, including Mount Dora, Eustis, Leesburg, and Clermont. Customers from the greater Orlando metro also make the short drive out to Lake County for their taxidermy work. The studio's location in the heart of Central Florida's lake country makes it a logical choice for anyone fishing or hunting in the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to preserve a fish before bringing it to a taxidermist?
Keep the fish moist and cool, ideally wrapped in a wet cloth or placed in a plastic bag on ice. Avoid letting it freeze if possible, since ice crystals can damage the scales and skin. Get it to the studio as quickly as you can after the catch.
Does Master Taxidermy Studio offer reproduction mounts instead of skin mounts for fish?
Reproduction mounts, made from fiberglass replicas, are a popular option for anglers who practice catch-and-release or want a more durable finished product. Ask the studio directly about the reproduction options they carry and whether your specific species is available in the right size.
How much does a largemouth bass mount typically cost in this area?
Pricing for bass mounts in Florida generally runs based on the length of the fish, often ranging from around $10 to $15 per inch depending on the studio and the type of mount. Contact Master Taxidermy Studio directly for their current pricing, since rates vary by provider and complexity.
Can they mount deer harvested in other Florida counties or out of state?
Most taxidermists can work with specimens from other areas as long as proper documentation accompanies the animal, particularly for out-of-state game. Florida has its own regulations around transporting certain species, so check with the studio and Florida Fish and Wildlife if you're unsure.
How long does a deer shoulder mount take to complete?
Standard deer shoulder mounts typically take anywhere from three months to over a year depending on the studio's workload and the time of year. Hunting season creates a backlog at most shops, so dropping off early in the season or during off-peak months can sometimes speed things up.
Is skull cleaning available for turkey, hog, or other Florida game species?
Skull cleaning is a common service at taxidermy studios in Florida, and Central Florida's feral hog population alone keeps many shops busy with skull work. Ask Master Taxidermy Studio specifically about the species they handle, since some require different cleaning methods or have legal considerations.
