Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'non-typical' mean in deer hunting and taxidermy?
A non-typical antler configuration is one that doesn't follow the standard symmetrical point pattern you see on most bucks, often featuring sticker points, drop tines, or abnormal growth. These racks are prized by many hunters for their uniqueness, and mounting them well requires a taxidermist who appreciates and understands how to display them properly.
Can you mount waterfowl taken along the North Platte River?
Yes, duck and goose mounts are a regular part of the work at studios in this region given how productive the North Platte corridor is for waterfowl hunters. You'll want to bring in the bird as soon as possible after harvest and avoid field dressing it, since taxidermists need the full specimen to do a proper mount.
How much does a typical deer shoulder mount cost in Wyoming?
Prices vary by studio and complexity, but deer shoulder mounts in Wyoming generally range from around $400 to $700 or more depending on the form, finish quality, and any habitat additions. Calling ahead for a specific quote is always the best approach since pricing can shift based on current material costs and workload.
Is Torrington a good location to find an experienced taxidermist?
Torrington sits in the middle of excellent hunting territory, which means local taxidermists here see a consistent flow of quality game throughout the season. That regular exposure to a wide variety of species and trophy types helps local studios develop skills that are genuinely field-tested rather than just classroom trained.
Do you offer habitat displays or scenic bases for mounts?
Many taxidermists offer habitat additions like natural wood panels, rock bases, or grass and brush accents that help tell the story of where the animal was taken. These details can make a significant difference in how a finished mount looks on the wall or in a display case, so it's worth asking about your options when you drop off your trophy.
What should I do if I'm traveling from out of state and can't bring my trophy in right away?
If you're hunting in Wyoming from out of state, your best option is to cape the animal properly, salt the hide, and either pack it carefully for transport home or ask a local check station or outfitter if they can help with short-term cold storage. Calling the studio ahead of your hunt to get prep instructions is always a smart move so nothing goes wrong in the field.
