Services & Process

Taxi Economico's taxidermy side handles the kinds of requests you'd expect from a community close to hunting and fishing country. Services likely include shoulder mounts and full body mounts for deer and other game taken from the surrounding mountains and foothills. Fish mounts for catches from local reservoirs and coastal trips are also a practical offering. Skull cleaning is another service hunters in this region frequently need, especially for larger game like black bear or mountain lion taken during regulated seasons in the Angeles or Los Padres forests.

Service Area

Taxi Economico is based in Sun Valley and serves customers throughout the northeastern San Fernando Valley. Hunters and anglers coming from Pacoima, Arleta, North Hollywood, and surrounding neighborhoods will find this a convenient local option. The location also works well for customers driving in from foothill communities like Sunland and Tujunga after trips into the Angeles National Forest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bring my specimen in fresh, or can it be frozen?
Frozen specimens are generally fine and are actually the preferred way to transport game if you can't get to the studio immediately after your harvest. Just make sure the animal is sealed in a heavy plastic bag before freezing to prevent freezer burn on the hide or feathers.
Can you mount fish caught from local Southern California reservoirs?
Yes, fish mounts are a common request and freshwater catches from places like Castaic Lake or Pyramid Lake are handled regularly. You'll want to either keep the fish fresh on ice or take detailed measurements and photographs if you plan to release it and want a replica mount instead.
How long does a deer shoulder mount typically take to complete?
A standard deer shoulder mount usually takes anywhere from three to eight months depending on the studio's current workload and the complexity of the pose you've requested. It's best to ask for an estimated timeframe at the time of drop-off so you're not left guessing.
What's the difference between a skull cleaning and a European mount?
A skull cleaning is simply the process of removing all tissue from the skull so it's clean and odor-free. A European mount takes that cleaned skull and presents it for display, often mounted on a plaque or wall panel, which is a popular and more affordable alternative to a full shoulder mount.
Do you work with non-game animals like pets or exotic species?
This depends on the provider, and it's worth asking directly before assuming. Some taxidermists handle pet preservation as a separate specialty, while others focus strictly on game animals. Exotic species may also require additional documentation to comply with California wildlife regulations.
Is there a deposit required when I drop off my specimen?
Most taxidermists ask for a deposit upfront, typically ranging from 30 to 50 percent of the total quoted price. This covers initial material costs and secures your place in the work queue, so it's a standard part of the process you should plan for.
