About Monument Taxidermy

Monument Taxidermy operates out of Dixon, California, a small city in Solano County that sits between Sacramento and the Bay Area along Interstate 80. With a perfect 5.0 rating from its first reviewer, it's off to a strong start. Dixon is surrounded by Central Valley farmland and is a reasonable drive from some of Northern California's best hunting and fishing areas, including the Sacramento Valley and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. That location puts it squarely in the path of hunters and anglers looking for quality preservation work.

Services & Process

Monument Taxidermy is positioned to serve the full range of work that Central Valley hunters and anglers bring in. Deer and wild pig shoulder mounts are among the most common requests in this region, requiring careful hide preparation and natural-looking finishing. Waterfowl mounts are also a strong fit given the Sacramento Valley's reputation as one of the premier duck hunting regions in the country. Fish mounts from Delta bass and striped bass fishing trips round out the workload many Northern California taxidermists see through the season.

Service Area

Monument Taxidermy serves Dixon and the surrounding Solano County communities, along with customers from Vacaville, Woodland, and West Sacramento. Its position on the I-80 corridor makes it easy to reach for hunters and anglers coming from both the Sacramento area and the East Bay. Clients from Yolo and Sacramento counties regularly make the drive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Monument Taxidermy work on waterfowl from Sacramento Valley hunts?
The Sacramento Valley is one of the top duck hunting destinations in the United States, and local taxidermists in Dixon are well-suited to handle the waterfowl species hunters bring in. Duck and goose mounts require specific techniques to preserve feather detail and natural coloring.
Can I get a wild pig mount done here?
Wild pig hunting is very popular throughout Solano and Yolo counties, and most taxidermists in the Dixon area are experienced with boar work. Shoulder mounts and skull cleaning are both common options for wild pig trophies.
What is skull cleaning and how does it work?
Skull cleaning removes all tissue from a harvested animal's skull, leaving a clean bone display. This is done either through beetle colonies, boiling, or a maceration process, depending on the shop's methods and the size of the skull.
How should I store my specimen if I can't bring it in right away?
Freeze the specimen as soon as possible if a same-day drop-off isn't possible. Don't skin it yourself unless you're experienced, and make sure it's sealed in a plastic bag before freezing to prevent freezer burn.
What is Monument Taxidermy's turnaround time?
Turnaround times vary depending on the type of mount and current shop volume. It's best to ask at drop-off for a realistic estimate, and remember that longer timelines often reflect careful, quality work rather than slow service.
Can I request a specific pose for my mount?
Yes, most taxidermists will work with you on pose selection, and many have catalogs of form options to choose from. Bringing a reference photo of the pose you have in mind is a great way to communicate exactly what you're looking for.
