Services & Process

Pine Acres likely handles a full range of mounting services suited to the hunting and fishing opportunities around Olympia. Deer and elk shoulder mounts are the bread and butter of most western Washington taxidermists, requiring careful hide preparation, form fitting, and natural finishing. Waterfowl mounts are also in high demand near the South Sound, where duck and goose hunting is popular throughout the fall and winter. Antler mounting and European-style skull displays round out the typical service list for hunters who want clean, affordable display options.

Service Area

Pine Acres Taxidermy serves the Olympia area and surrounding Thurston County communities. Customers from Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, and as far as the Chehalis area make the trip to work with taxidermists in the South Sound region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with waterfowl like ducks and geese?
Most taxidermists in the Olympia area are experienced with waterfowl given the strong duck and goose hunting culture around the South Sound. You'll want to keep the bird as dry and cool as possible after harvest and deliver it promptly to preserve feather quality.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a reproduction for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual skin of the fish stretched over a form, while a reproduction is a cast or fiberglass replica painted to match your specific catch. Reproductions are more durable and allow catch-and-release anglers to keep a memory of their fish.
How do I prepare my deer cape before drop-off?
Keep the cape cool and dry, and avoid cutting the hide too short on the neck during field dressing. If you can't deliver right away, roll the cape hair-side out and refrigerate or freeze it until you can get it to the shop.
Can taxidermists work with trophies brought back from out-of-state hunts?
Yes, most taxidermists can work with specimens from other states as long as they were harvested legally and transported in compliance with state and federal regulations. It's a good idea to bring any relevant tags or documentation when you drop off.
How much does a full body mount cost compared to a shoulder mount?
Full body mounts are significantly more expensive than shoulder mounts because they require more materials, more time, and a larger form. A deer shoulder mount might run a few hundred dollars, while a full body mount for the same animal could cost two to three times as much.
Is there a hunting season when taxidermists get especially busy?
The fall deer and elk seasons, running roughly October through December in Washington, are the busiest time of year for most taxidermists. Dropping off early in the season or calling ahead can help you secure a spot before backlogs build up.
