About R N Taxidermy

The area sits within easy reach of some excellent whitetail habitat in the Thumb region and the surrounding farmland corridors that produce trophy deer every season. Local taxidermists in Davison understand what hunters in this part of Michigan are bringing through the door, from mature bucks taken in the fields of Tuscola County to waterfowl from Saginaw Bay. It's a working-class area with serious sportsmen who expect quality work.

Services & Process

R N Taxidermy provides taxidermy services for hunters and collectors in the Genesee County area. Deer work is the bread and butter of any Michigan shop, including shoulder mounts where the cape is tanned and set on an anatomical form with glass eyes chosen to match the species. Waterfowl mounts are another specialty suited to the region, requiring careful feather alignment and detailed habitat bases to look natural. Skull cleaning, whether through maceration or beetle colonies, is a popular add-on for hunters who want a clean European-style display.

Service Area

R N Taxidermy serves the Davison area and the broader Genesee County region, drawing customers from Flint, Burton, Grand Blanc, and surrounding townships. Hunters from the Thumb counties of Tuscola, Sanilac, and Lapeer also make the drive for quality local work. The shop is conveniently positioned for sportsmen across mid-Michigan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does R N Taxidermy handle waterfowl mounts?
Waterfowl mounts are a natural fit for taxidermists in the Saginaw Bay region, where duck and goose hunting is a big part of the local outdoor tradition. Ask when you call to confirm current availability and pricing for specific species.
What's a European skull mount and how is it done?
A European mount is a cleaned, whitened skull without the hide, displayed to show the antlers and bone structure. The skull is typically cleaned through simmering or beetle colony processing, then whitened and sealed for a clean, modern look.
Can I bring in a deer from the Thumb region for mounting?
Absolutely. Hunters from Tuscola, Sanilac, and Lapeer counties regularly bring their deer to Genesee County taxidermists. Just make sure your harvest is tagged properly and you transport the cape and skull plate carefully.
How do I know if my deer cape is still in good enough condition to mount?
A taxidermist can assess the cape when you bring it in. Signs of a problem include strong odor, patches of hair pulling out easily, or discoloration from heat exposure. Getting it in quickly and keeping it cold is the best way to preserve your options.
Is it worth mounting a smaller deer or just a first buck?
That's entirely a personal decision, and many hunters consider a first deer just as worth mounting as a record-book buck. A good taxidermist will treat every mount with the same care regardless of antler size.
How do I store a finished mount properly to make it last?
Keep your mount away from direct sunlight and high humidity, both of which can fade and damage the hide over time. Dust it occasionally with a soft brush and avoid hanging it near heating vents or exterior walls in cold climates.
