About Pullen's Wildlife Taxidermy Studio

Suffolk sits at the heart of some of the best deer, turkey, and waterfowl habitat in the Mid-Atlantic, making quality taxidermy work genuinely important to locals who invest serious time in the field. Whether you've taken a mature whitetail on a private farm or pulled a trophy bass from one of the area's slow-moving rivers, this studio handles the work of preserving those memories with care.

Services & Process

Pullen's Wildlife Taxidermy Studio covers the full range of preservation work hunters and anglers in the Suffolk area need. Deer shoulder mounts involve careful skinning, fleshing, and fitting the hide over a sculpted form matched to your animal's exact measurements. Fish reproductions capture color and detail using either the original skin or a cast replica, depending on the condition of your catch. The studio also handles small game mounts and can work with birds, giving you options whether you've bagged a gobbler during spring season or taken a limit of ducks near the Dismal Swamp.

Service Area

Pullen's Wildlife Taxidermy Studio primarily serves Suffolk and the surrounding Hampton Roads region, including customers coming in from Franklin, Windsor, and Isle of Wight County. Hunters from the western Tidewater area regularly make the drive given the limited number of full-service studios in this part of Virginia.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my deer should I bring it in?
You should get your deer to the studio within a day or two if possible, especially in warmer months when spoilage happens fast. If you can't make it right away, cape the animal and freeze it in a plastic bag to preserve the hide quality.
Do you offer fish mounts, or only big game?
Both skin mounts and replica reproductions are available for fish. Replicas are often recommended for catch-and-release fish or species where the skin doesn't hold up well through the preservation process.
What information should I bring when dropping off a trophy?
Bring any photos you took of the animal right after the harvest, since those capture natural color and body condition before anything changes. It also helps to have the animal's measurements and a rough idea of the pose you want.
How long does a typical deer shoulder mount take?
Most shoulder mounts take anywhere from six months to over a year depending on the studio's current queue. Quality work takes time, and rushing the tanning and drying process can compromise the final result.
Can I get a skull cleaned and mounted instead of a full shoulder mount?
Yes, skull cleaning is a popular and more affordable alternative to a full shoulder mount. European mounts are done by boiling or using beetles to clean the skull, then whitening and mounting it on a panel or freestanding form.
Is a deposit required when I drop off my animal?
Most taxidermists require a deposit at the time of drop-off to cover initial material costs. The remainder is typically due when you pick up the finished mount, so ask about the payment schedule when you come in.
