Services & Process

T & T Taxidermy provides mounting and preservation services suited to the game hunters and anglers bring in from Jackson County and surrounding areas. Whitetail shoulder mounts are the bread and butter of most studios like this one, involving careful hide preparation, form fitting, and detailed facial finishing. Waterfowl and turkey mounts are also common, requiring feather-by-feather positioning for a natural, lifelike appearance. Antler mounting on a panel or plaque is a straightforward way to display a rack without the full cost of a shoulder mount, and it's a popular option for hunters on a budget.

Service Area

T & T Taxidermy serves customers throughout Sandyville and Jackson County, West Virginia. Hunters from Ripley, Ravenswood, and Spencer frequently bring their trophies to local studios in this area. The studio is also within reasonable driving distance for customers in Wirt and Roane Counties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical deposit required when dropping off a trophy?
Most taxidermists in West Virginia ask for a deposit of 30 to 50 percent of the total cost at the time of drop-off. This covers initial materials and secures your place in the work queue, with the remainder due at pickup.
Can T & T Taxidermy mount waterfowl like ducks and geese?
Bird mounting is a standard service at most rural West Virginia studios, and waterfowl like mallards, Canada geese, and wood ducks are common requests. It's worth freezing the bird immediately after harvest to preserve feather condition before your appointment.
How should I freeze a turkey for mounting?
Place the turkey in a large plastic bag without bending or rearranging the feathers, and freeze it whole as quickly as possible. Avoid gutting the bird if you plan to have it mounted, since a full body turkey mount uses the complete specimen.
Does the taxidermist provide the form or do I need to supply anything?
The taxidermist supplies all forms, materials, and hardware needed to complete your mount. You simply bring in the properly prepared hide, skull, or specimen, and they handle everything from there.
What pose options are available for a whitetail shoulder mount?
Standard options include a straight-ahead pose, a left or right turn, and an upward or sneak position. Some studios also offer semi-sneak and aggressive poses. Looking at examples in the shop helps you decide what will work best for your wall space.
Is there a difference in quality between a cheaper and a more expensive mount?
Yes, price usually reflects the quality of forms and materials used, the level of finishing detail, and the taxidermist's overall experience. A well-done mount will hold its appearance for decades, while a rushed or under-priced job can show deterioration within a few years.
