Services & Process

Tom Pierson Taxidermy serves the full range of requests that northern Kentucky and greater Cincinnati area hunters bring in each season. Whitetail deer shoulder mounts are consistently the most common project for any Kentucky taxidermist, and the proximity to productive hunting counties like Grant, Bracken, and Mason means a steady flow of quality animals. Fish mounts from Ohio River species, including bass, sauger, and catfish, are also likely part of the work mix here. Antler mounting, small mammal work, and bird mounts round out the service offerings for collectors and hunters in the region.

Service Area

Tom Pierson Taxidermy serves customers throughout Covington, Kenton County, and the broader northern Kentucky metro area. The shop also draws clients from Boone, Campbell, and Grant counties, along with hunters from the greater Cincinnati metro who prefer working with a Kentucky-based craftsman.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Tom Pierson Taxidermy handle mounts for Ohio hunters as well as Kentucky hunters?
Given the shop's location directly across from Cincinnati, it's very common for northern Kentucky taxidermists to serve customers from both states. Calling (859) 356-0800 to confirm is the best way to find out exactly how cross-state drop-offs are handled.
What Ohio River fish species can be mounted?
Sauger, hybrid striped bass, channel catfish, and largemouth bass are all common catches from the Ohio River and all mountable. Proper fish preservation, including freezing the fish whole in a bag of water, is critical before it reaches the taxidermist.
How do I find good deer hunting near Covington if I'm new to the area?
Grant, Bracken, and Mason counties to the south and east of Covington hold strong whitetail populations and have accessible public and private land. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources website is a solid starting point for license info and public hunting areas.
Can I get a full-body mount instead of just a shoulder mount?
Full-body mounts are available from most experienced taxidermists, though they cost significantly more and require more space to display. They're popular for trophy-class animals where customers want the most complete and dramatic presentation possible.
What documentation do I need when bringing in a wild turkey or migratory bird?
For wild turkey, your Kentucky hunting license showing the bird was legally tagged is sufficient. For migratory birds like ducks, you'll need your federal duck stamp and state license. Taxidermists are required by federal law to keep records on migratory bird mounts.
How should I store my mount long-term in a northern Kentucky home?
Northern Kentucky's humid summers can be tough on mounts, so climate control matters. Keep mounts in air-conditioned spaces, away from windows with direct sun exposure, and check periodically for any signs of pest activity, which is more common in older homes near the river.
