About Perfectshot Taxidermy & Seed

Perfectshot Taxidermy & Seed in Clayton, Indiana offers something you don't see every day: a business that combines taxidermy services with seed sales under one roof. Clayton is a small Hendricks County town just west of Indianapolis, sitting in the heart of central Indiana farm country. That agricultural connection makes sense for a studio serving hunters who also work the land. The dual focus reflects the rural lifestyle of the area, where hunting and farming go hand in hand for many families.

Services & Process

Perfectshot Taxidermy & Seed handles the taxidermy needs of Hendricks County hunters alongside its agricultural side of the business. Shoulder mounts for whitetail deer are a natural specialty given the strong local hunting culture, and the studio's experience with farm country deer means they're familiar with the big-bodied bucks common to this part of Indiana. Skull cleaning and European mount preparation are popular lower-cost options the studio likely offers alongside full mounts. Antler mounting on plaques and panels rounds out the deer hunting services for clients who want display options at various price points.

Service Area

Perfectshot Taxidermy & Seed serves Clayton and the surrounding Hendricks County communities, including Avon, Plainfield, and Danville. The studio's location just off the western Indianapolis metro makes it convenient for hunters from the suburbs who want a local alternative to driving further into rural Indiana. Clients from Putnam and Morgan counties also make use of this centrally located studio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a taxidermy studio also sell seed?
In rural Indiana, it's not uncommon for small businesses to serve multiple needs of the farming and hunting community from one location. Combining taxidermy with seed sales reflects the overlap between the farming and hunting lifestyle, and it makes practical sense in an agricultural community like Clayton.
Is Perfectshot Taxidermy a good option for suburban Indianapolis hunters?
Clayton is one of the closer rural taxidermy options for hunters living on the western side of Indianapolis, making it a convenient choice compared to driving an hour or more into the countryside. Local studios in smaller towns often have shorter wait times than high-volume shops near the city.
How long should I expect to wait for my mount during deer season?
Deer season from October through January is the busiest period for any Indiana taxidermist, and studios often accumulate months of backlogged work during this stretch. Dropping off your cape early in the season or off-season can sometimes move you closer to the front of the queue.
What antler mounting options are available besides a full shoulder mount?
You can choose from a basic skull plate mount on a simple plaque, a more decorative panel with carved or laser-cut designs, or a European mount where the full cleaned skull is displayed with antlers attached. Each option sits at a different price point, giving hunters flexibility based on their budget.
Can I bring in a deer head I already caped myself?
Yes, but the taxidermist will inspect the cape carefully for any cuts or slippage before quoting the job. If you caped it yourself, mention where you made your cuts so the studio can plan the finishing accordingly, and make sure the hide has been properly cooled or frozen since field dressing.
Do Hendricks County taxidermists handle non-deer species?
Most Indiana taxidermists who work on deer will also handle other common game species like wild turkey, pheasant, and various furbearers like coyote or fox. It's worth asking specifically about the species you have, since some studios focus primarily on big game while others handle birds and small game too.
