Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my deer should I bring it in?
You should get your deer to the taxidermist as quickly as possible, ideally within a few hours of the harvest. If you can't make it same day, cape the deer and store it in a cooler or freeze it to prevent slippage and hair loss.
Can you mount saltwater fish caught near Beaufort?
Yes, saltwater species like redfish, flounder, and cobia are commonly mounted by Lowcountry taxidermists. It's best to photograph the fish immediately after the catch for color reference, then keep it chilled or frozen until you can bring it in.
What's the typical turnaround time for a deer shoulder mount?
Most deer shoulder mounts take anywhere from six months to over a year, depending on the shop's current workload and the time of year. Peak season after the rut means longer wait times, so ask for a specific estimate when you drop off your trophy.
How much does a standard deer shoulder mount cost in South Carolina?
Prices vary by shop and pose, but you can generally expect to pay between $400 and $650 for a quality shoulder mount in this region. More elaborate poses or larger species will cost more, so get a clear quote upfront.
Do I need to do anything special to prepare a fish for mounting?
After catching it, wrap the fish in a wet cloth and keep it cold. Don't gut it, and try to avoid bending or damaging the fins. Taking clear photos of the live fish right away helps the taxidermist recreate accurate coloration.
Can a taxidermist preserve a bird I harvested during duck season?
Absolutely. Waterfowl mounts are popular in South Carolina, and the key is handling the bird carefully after the harvest. Wrap it in a plastic bag without wetting the feathers and freeze it until your appointment.
