About Taylor's Taxidermy

Taylor's Taxidermy is located in Randleman, a small city in Randolph County in the heart of North Carolina's Piedmont region. Randolph County offers hunters access to a mix of private farmland, timber tracts, and public hunting areas, and the county produces solid whitetail deer harvests year after year. Randleman itself sits just south of Asheboro, putting Taylor's within easy reach of hunters across a wide stretch of the central Piedmont. For sportsmen who don't want to ship their trophies to a distant metro-area studio, this local option keeps everything close to home.

Services & Process

Taylor's handles the full range of taxidermy services that Piedmont-area hunters and anglers typically need. Deer shoulder mounts are the most common request, involving careful cape preparation, form selection to match your deer's measurements, and detailed finishing on the facial features. Fish mounts serve bass anglers and catfish fishermen who work the nearby Uwharrie River and High Rock Lake. Bird work, including turkey and waterfowl mounts, is also available for hunters who want to preserve a memorable harvest beyond just a fan or beard display.

Service Area

Taylor's Taxidermy serves Randleman and the surrounding Randolph County area, including Asheboro, Trinity, and Archdale. Hunters from neighboring Moore, Montgomery, and Davidson counties also make the drive. The studio is well-placed to serve anyone hunting the Uwharrie National Forest region of central North Carolina.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you do fish mounts for species caught in High Rock Lake or the Uwharrie River?
Bass, crappie, catfish, and other Piedmont freshwater species are all suitable for mounting, and anglers from the High Rock Lake and Uwharrie River area are a natural fit for a studio in Randolph County. For catch-and-release fishing, reproduction mounts are the better option since they only require photos and measurements. Keep the fish alive as long as possible, or freeze it if you're planning a skin mount.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a reproduction mount for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual skin of the fish, which is cleaned, dried, and mounted over a form. A reproduction is a fiberglass casting painted to match photos of your specific fish. Reproductions hold their color better over time and don't require the actual fish to be kept intact, making them the preferred choice for catch-and-release anglers.
How long does a turkey full body mount take to complete?
Turkey mounts generally take 6 to 9 months depending on the studio's workload and the complexity of the pose. Full strut positions, which are the most dramatic and popular, require more detailed form work than a standing or walking pose. Dropping off your bird right after spring season means you'll likely have it back before the following season.
Is the Uwharrie area good for bear hunting, and do you mount black bears?
The Uwharrie National Forest and surrounding Randolph County lands do see black bear activity, though it's not as dense as western NC mountain regions. Taylor's can handle black bear mounts, including rugs and full body displays, which are increasingly popular among hunters who make the commitment to pursue bear. Rug mounts with open mouths are a classic option that shows off the size and character of the animal.
What is a rug mount, and what animals are usually done this way?
A rug mount is a flat display piece where the animal's hide is tanned and spread out, typically with the head mounted in a natural position and the paws spread. Bears and mountain lions are the most common rug mount subjects, though coyotes, foxes, and other medium-sized predators work well too. They're a popular floor or wall display for hunters who want a dramatic but flat piece.
Can I get a deer mount completed in time for Christmas as a gift?
That depends heavily on when the deer was harvested and the studio's current queue. A cape dropped off in early October has a better chance of being ready by December than one brought in during peak season in November. It's always worth calling ahead and asking directly, since studios sometimes have rush options available for an additional fee.
