Taxidermy

Services & Process

Taylor'D Taxidermy handles both fish and big game work, which is fitting for a studio in one of Wisconsin's premier fishing destinations. Fish mounts here can be done as skin mounts on harvested fish or as high-quality replicas, with replicas being particularly popular for catch-and-release anglers who want to preserve a trophy without keeping the fish. Walleye, muskie, bass, and northern pike are among the most common fish brought to studios in the Green Lake area. On the land side, whitetail deer shoulder mounts, European skull mounts, and antler panels are all standard offerings.

Service Area

Taylor'D Taxidermy serves anglers and hunters throughout Green Lake County and the communities surrounding Green Lake itself. Clients from Ripon, Berlin, and Markesan, as well as seasonal visitors and property owners on the lake, bring their trophies to local studios in this area. The studio is a natural fit for anyone fishing or hunting in central Wisconsin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I get a replica or a skin mount for my trophy muskie?
Replicas have become the preferred choice for most muskie anglers because the color can be matched precisely from photos and the finished mount holds up far better over the years than a skin mount. For a true catch-and-release trophy, a replica means the fish swims away and you still get a mount worth putting on the wall.
How do I properly preserve a fish if I can't get to the studio right away?
Wrap the fish in a wet cloth, then place it in a sealed plastic bag and freeze it solid as soon as possible, keeping the fins flat against the body to avoid breakage. When you're ready to drop it off, let the taxidermist know it's been frozen and roughly how long, since that helps them plan the work.
Do you mount game fish like walleye and bass, or mainly trophy species?
Most taxidermists will mount any fish a customer brings in, though the demand tends to be highest for larger trophy fish like muskie, walleye, and northern pike in this part of Wisconsin. A walleye that's meaningful to you is worth preserving regardless of size, and your taxidermist can advise on whether a skin mount or replica makes more sense for what you have.
Can I get a background habitat panel included with my fish mount?
Habitat panels that recreate a weedy underwater scene or a rocky lakebed backdrop are available and can really elevate the finished display. Talk to the studio at drop-off about your options since the panel is usually built alongside the mount and priced separately.
What's the best way to cape a deer if I'm hunting far from home and the studio?
Cape the deer behind the front legs with a longer cut than you think you'll need, since it's better to have extra hide than to come up short at the taxidermist's bench. Salt the skin heavily on the flesh side as soon as possible, roll it up with the flesh side in, and keep it cool and dry until you can get it to the studio.
How much does a fish replica mount typically cost compared to a skin mount?
Replica mounts are generally priced by the inch and tend to run slightly higher than skin mounts in most studios, though the gap has narrowed as replica quality has improved. Given that replicas last longer and don't require the fish to be harvested, many anglers see the price difference as worth it.
