Services & Process

A full-service taxidermy studio in this region will handle everything from shoulder mounts on whitetail bucks to full body mounts for bears and predators taken on nearby public lands. Fish mounts are common here too, since the Juniata River and its tributaries hold plenty of smallmouth bass and trout worth preserving. Skull cleaning is a popular option for hunters who want a cleaner, more affordable way to display a trophy without a full mount. Antler mounting and European skull displays are also offered for those who want a minimalist look on the wall.

Service Area

Seven Mountains Taxidermy serves hunters and collectors across Mifflin County and the surrounding central Pennsylvania region. Customers come from communities like Lewistown, Burnham, and McVeytown. The studio is also accessible to hunters working the Seven Mountains Wildlife Management Area and nearby state forest tracts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my deer should I bring it in?
The sooner the better, ideally within 24 hours if possible. Keep the animal cool and avoid field dressing cuts near the neck or cape area you want preserved.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a European mount?
A shoulder mount includes the full head, neck, and upper chest area on a form with the hide and hair attached. A European mount is just the cleaned skull with antlers, which costs less and takes up less wall space.
How long does a deer shoulder mount typically take?
Most taxidermists in this area quote six to twelve months for a standard whitetail shoulder mount. High-demand fall seasons can push turnaround times longer, so drop off early and ask for an honest estimate.
Can you mount a black bear taken in Pennsylvania?
Yes, and central Pennsylvania studios are experienced with black bear work specifically. Full body mounts, rug mounts, and skull mounts are all common options depending on your budget and display preferences.
Do you work with fish from local rivers?
Absolutely. Smallmouth bass, walleye, and trout from the Juniata River system are popular subjects. Bring your fish in fresh or well-iced, and ask about reproduction mounts as an alternative to using the actual skin.
What should I ask before choosing a taxidermist?
Ask to see photos of completed work, specifically animals similar to yours. Also ask about current wait times, deposit requirements, and whether they use commercial forms and glass eyes for a lifelike finished look.
