Frequently Asked Questions

Does Medcalf Taxidermy handle turkey mounts?
Turkey mounts are a popular request in Greene County, and most local studios handle full-body mounts, fan-and-beard displays, and strutting poses. Contact the shop directly to confirm current availability and pricing for spring turkey season work.
How do I store a deer cape if I can't get to the taxidermist right away?
Freeze the cape as quickly as possible, making sure it's in a sealed bag with as much air removed as you can manage. Avoid letting it thaw and refreeze repeatedly, since that damages the hair follicles and makes the tanning process harder.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a pedestal mount?
A shoulder mount hangs on the wall and shows the deer from the chest up, while a pedestal mount displays the animal on a freestanding base. Pedestal mounts generally cost more and take up more space, but they make a dramatic statement in a room.
Can Medcalf Taxidermy mount fish caught from local Indiana rivers?
River fish like catfish, bass, and carp are commonly mounted by Indiana taxidermists. Bring the fish in fresh or frozen and discuss whether you want a skin mount or a reproduction, which doesn't require the actual fish at all.
What should I ask when getting a quote from a taxidermist?
Ask about the total price including materials, the estimated turnaround time, and what deposit is required upfront. It's also worth asking what form brand they use for deer, since quality forms make a visible difference in the finished mount.
Are there any Indiana hunting regulations I should know about before getting a mount done?
Indiana requires hunters to follow tag and licensing rules before transferring any game to a taxidermist. Always make sure your animal is properly tagged and documented before dropping it off, since reputable studios will ask for this information.
