Frequently Asked Questions

Does Steele Trap Taxidermy mount black bears?
Bear mounts are a natural part of the workload for a New Hampshire taxidermist, given the active bear hunting seasons in the state. Both full body mounts and bear rug mounts are common requests, and each requires specific skinning techniques in the field to preserve the hide properly.
How do I properly care for a deer cape before dropping it off in Madbury?
Field dress the deer carefully and avoid cutting too far up the chest if you plan to mount it, leaving as much neck skin as possible. Cool the cape quickly, and if you're more than a few hours from the studio, freeze it in a sealed bag.
What's involved in a wild turkey mount for New Hampshire birds?
Turkey mounts can range from a simple fan-and-beard wall display to a full body mount showing the bird in strut. Bring the bird in intact and unfrozen if possible so the taxidermist can work with the freshest feathers and skin.
How long does it take to get a finished mount back from a New Hampshire taxidermist?
Most studios in New Hampshire quote six months to a year for standard deer or game animal mounts, depending on volume. Busy fall seasons can push timelines out further, so dropping off early and asking about the current schedule is a good habit.
Can I bring in a fish from Great Bay or nearby rivers for a mount?
Fish mounts are absolutely available, and the striped bass, trout, and other species caught around the Seacoast area are popular subjects. For a reproduction mount, clear photos and accurate measurements at the time of catch are all you need.
Is Steele Trap Taxidermy open year-round or only during hunting season?
Most taxidermy studios accept drop-offs year-round, though fall and early winter are the busiest periods. Calling ahead to confirm availability and current lead times is always the smart first step before making the drive out to Madbury.
