Services & Process

Nac Taxidermy handles the full range of work that Michigan hunters and anglers bring through the door. Shoulder mounts for whitetail deer are the most common request, involving careful hide preparation, a quality form fitting the animal's measurements, and detailed finishing around the eyes and nose. Fish reproductions and skin mounts are available for bass, walleye, and pike commonly caught in mid-Michigan waters. Skull cleaning and antler mounting round out the offerings, giving customers clean, display-ready pieces without committing to a full mount.

Service Area

Nac Taxidermy primarily serves customers in Mount Pleasant and throughout Isabella County. Hunters and anglers from Alma, Clare, Shepherd, and surrounding mid-Michigan communities regularly use the studio. The central location makes it a practical stop for anyone traveling through the region after a successful hunt or fishing trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my deer should I bring it in?
You should get your deer to the taxidermist as quickly as possible, ideally within 24 hours if temperatures are above freezing. If you can't bring it in right away, cape the animal and freeze it in a plastic bag to prevent slippage and hair loss.
What is the typical turnaround time for a whitetail shoulder mount?
Most shoulder mounts take between 6 and 12 months depending on the studio's current workload and the time of year you bring the specimen in. Busy studios that take in a high volume during Michigan's November firearm season often have longer wait times through the winter and spring.
Can you mount fish I caught in the Chippewa River or nearby lakes?
Yes, skin mounts and reproductions are both options for local catches. Reproductions are particularly popular for catch-and-release anglers who want to preserve the memory without keeping the fish, and they tend to hold color better over time than traditional skin mounts.
Do you offer skull cleaning for deer or other animals?
Skull cleaning is a common service that produces a clean, odor-free display piece. European mounts have become very popular as a minimalist alternative to full shoulder mounts, and they're generally less expensive and take up less wall space.
How should I store my specimen if I can't bring it in immediately?
For a deer cape, fold it hair-side out, place it in a sealed bag, and freeze it as soon as possible. Avoid salting the hide before consulting the taxidermist, since improper salting can cause shrinkage that makes fitting the form more difficult.
What information should I bring when dropping off a trophy?
Bring any field photos you took right after the harvest, since these help the taxidermist match eye color, nose pigmentation, and overall body condition accurately. You should also have the basic measurements of the animal, including neck circumference and body length, if you took them before caping.
