Services & Process

Rescued Remains Taxidermy handles the core work hunters and anglers need most. Shoulder mounts and full body mounts require careful skinning, form selection, and finish work to capture natural posture and expression. Fish mounts, whether replicas or skin mounts, preserve the color and scale detail that make a trophy fish worth displaying. Skull cleaning through maceration or beetle colonies is also a popular option for those who want a clean, natural bone display without a traditional skin mount.

Service Area

Rescued Remains Taxidermy is based in Goshen, Indiana, and serves customers throughout Elkhart County and the surrounding northern Indiana communities. Hunters from Middlebury, Nappanee, and Elkhart regularly use local studios rather than shipping specimens long distances.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my deer should I bring it in?
You should get your deer to the taxidermist as quickly as possible, ideally within a few hours of field dressing. If you can't drop it off same day, cape the deer and keep it cool or freeze it to prevent slippage and hair loss.
Does Rescued Remains Taxidermy work on fish mounts?
Yes, fish taxidermy is a common service at studios like this one. You can bring in your actual fish for a skin mount, or many taxidermists now offer fiberglass replicas painted to match your catch, which often hold color better over time.
What's the typical turnaround time for a deer shoulder mount?
Most taxidermists in Indiana quote six to twelve months for whitetail shoulder mounts, depending on their current workload. Fall hunting season creates a natural backlog, so dropping off your specimen early in the season means a longer wait.
How much does a whitetail shoulder mount cost in the Goshen area?
Prices vary by studio and complexity, but shoulder mounts in northern Indiana typically run between $400 and $700. Habitat bases, unusual poses, or custom finishing work can add to that total.
Can I get a skull cleaned instead of a full mount?
Skull cleaning is absolutely an option and a popular one among hunters who want a natural display without the cost of a full mount. Methods include beetle colony cleaning, maceration, and boiling, each with different results in terms of bone color and detail.
Do I need an appointment to drop off a specimen?
It's always a good idea to call ahead before dropping off any animal, especially during fall deer season when studios get busy fast. A quick phone call ensures the taxidermist is available and ready to assess your specimen properly.
