Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare a deer cape before bringing it to Silver Creek Taxidermy?
Keep the cape cool or frozen as soon as possible after the harvest. Avoid cutting the cape too short at the brisket, since taxidermists need extra hide to work with when fitting a form.
How long does a typical deer shoulder mount take in Greenfield?
Most shoulder mounts take anywhere from 3 to 9 months depending on the studio's current queue and the complexity of the piece. Asking at drop-off gives you a realistic timeline so there are no surprises.
Can I get a fish mount done if I already released the fish?
Yes, replica mounts are a popular option for catch-and-release anglers. You'll need accurate length and girth measurements along with a few good photos so the studio can match the fish's coloring and proportions.
What is skull cleaning and how is it different from a standard mount?
Skull cleaning removes all tissue from the skull to produce a clean, natural bone display. It's a great alternative to a full mount for customers who prefer a more minimalist look or want to keep costs lower.
Do I need an appointment to drop off a specimen?
It's always a good idea to call ahead at (317) 448-6128 before stopping by. This helps the studio prepare for your drop-off and gives you a chance to ask questions about pricing before you arrive.
How much does a whitetail shoulder mount typically cost in Indiana?
Prices vary by studio and complexity, but most Indiana taxidermists charge between $400 and $700 for a standard whitetail shoulder mount. Additional work like antler restoration or custom habitat bases will add to that cost.
