About Taylor Made Taxidermy

Taylor Made Taxidermy is a Scottsdale-based studio with a 5-star rating across two customer reviews, a sign that clients are consistently satisfied with the finished work. Scottsdale sits at the edge of prime Arizona hunting country, with access to Coues deer, mule deer, and desert predators within a short drive. Having a trusted local studio means your trophy doesn't have to travel far after the hunt, which matters in Arizona's intense heat. This shop brings personalized service to every project, something larger operations can't always promise.

Services & Process

Taylor Made Taxidermy handles a solid range of preservation services for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts across the Scottsdale area. Shoulder mounts are a signature offering, capturing the neck, head, and expression of big game in a form built to last for decades on your wall. Full body mounts are available for predators like coyote or bobcat, where posture and muscle detail tell the story of the animal. The studio also takes on antler mounting and skull cleaning for clients who want a cleaner, more minimalist display rather than a full skin mount.

Service Area

Taylor Made Taxidermy serves Scottsdale and the broader Phoenix metropolitan area, making it accessible to hunters from Tempe, Mesa, Paradise Valley, and Chandler. Clients hunting in the Tonto National Forest or the White Tank Mountain area will find this location a convenient stop. The 480 area code reflects its deep roots in the East Valley community.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 5-star rating a reliable indicator of quality for a taxidermist?
It's a good starting point, especially when paired with photos of finished work. Ask to see examples of mounts similar to yours before committing, since skill can vary between species and mount types even within the same studio.
Can you do custom poses or is it limited to standard positions?
Most skilled taxidermists offer a range of poses from alert and upright to walking or feeding positions. Custom poses may cost a bit more and require a specific form to be ordered, so discuss your ideas during the initial consultation.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a reproduction mount for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual fish's skin, which can fade or shrink over time. A reproduction is cast from a mold and painted to match your specific fish, making it more durable and a great option if you practice catch-and-release.
Do you offer pickup or delivery for finished mounts?
Policies vary by studio, so ask upfront. Many Scottsdale taxidermists work by appointment for both drop-off and pickup, which keeps the process organized and ensures you're there to approve the work before taking it home.
How do I care for a finished mount long-term?
Keep your mount out of direct sunlight and away from high humidity, both of which can damage the hide and fade colors over time. Dust it gently with a soft brush and avoid chemical cleaners anywhere near the skin or fur.
Can a taxidermist repair an older or damaged mount?
Yes, mount restoration is a service many taxidermists offer. Whether it's rehydrating dried skin, touching up paint on a fish, or reattaching ears and eyes, a skilled professional can often bring an old mount back to a respectable condition.
