Services & Process

The Taxidermy Studio handles the preservation and mounting needs of hunters and sportsmen throughout the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre metro area. Deer shoulder mounts are core work, involving form preparation, hide mounting, and finishing details that bring the animal's expression to life. Black bear work, including rugs and full-body mounts, is especially relevant in this part of northeastern Pennsylvania where bear seasons draw significant participation. Skull cleaning and antler mounting services give clients who prefer a more streamlined display option a clean, professional result.

Service Area

The Taxidermy Studio primarily serves Taylor and Lackawanna County, with easy access for clients from Scranton, Dickson City, Olyphant, and the surrounding Pocono region. Hunters from Luzerne and Monroe counties also find the studio convenient given its location near major northeastern PA travel routes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you mount black bears?
Black bear mounts are a specialty in northeastern Pennsylvania where the bear population is strong and hunting pressure is consistent. Options include full-body mounts in standing or running poses, as well as bear rug mounts with or without the head.
What's involved in a bear rug mount?
The hide is fleshed, preserved, and stretched over a flat form with the head either included as a three-dimensional piece or laid flat. A felt backing is typically added to protect the underside and give the rug a finished appearance.
Can you mount a deer that was hit by a car if the hide is still good?
It depends on the condition of the hide and how quickly it was recovered. If the cape is intact and has been kept cool, there's a reasonable chance a mount is possible, but the taxidermist needs to assess it in person.
How far out are you booking for deer season drop-offs?
Most studios in the Scranton area fill up quickly during and after Pennsylvania's November deer season. It's worth calling ahead before the season opens to understand current timelines and get on the schedule early.
Do you do antler mounting without the skull?
Yes, antlers can be mounted on a variety of backing options including flat oak plaques, velvet panels, or decorative forms. This is a simpler and more affordable option for hunters who want to preserve the antlers without a full head mount.
What happens if my hide gets freezer burn before drop-off?
Mild freezer burn on peripheral areas sometimes doesn't affect the final result, but severe freezer burn near the face or ears can cause problems during mounting. Contact the studio before assuming the specimen is unusable.
