Services & Process

Tony's Trophy Mounts handles the full range of taxidermy work you'd expect from a Florida coastal studio.

Trophy deer mounts, including European skull mounts and traditional shoulder mounts, are also common offerings. Expect careful skinning, form fitting, and finishing work that accurately recreates the animal's natural coloring and posture.

It's a convenient option for anyone fishing or hunting along the central Florida coastline.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fish species can Tony's Trophy Mounts preserve?
The studio handles a wide range of Florida saltwater and freshwater species, including tarpon, snook, redfish, bass, and offshore gamefish. If you're unsure whether your specific catch qualifies, call ahead to confirm before transporting it.
How should I store my fish or game before dropping it off?
Keep the specimen as cool as possible and avoid freezer burn by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap or a plastic bag before freezing. Don't gut or skin a fish intended for a mount, and avoid folding fins or damaging the skin.
How long does a typical mount take to complete?
Turnaround times in Florida can range from several months to over a year depending on the type of mount and the studio's current workload. It's best to ask for an estimate when you drop off your specimen.
Do I need to bring the whole animal or just part of it?
For shoulder mounts, you'll need the head, cape, and antlers if applicable. For fish, bring the whole fish intact. Full body mounts require the complete animal, so ask about preparation instructions before your hunt or trip.
What is the difference between a skin mount and a replica mount for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual skin of your fish stretched over a form, while a replica is a fiberglass reproduction painted to match your catch. Replicas are increasingly popular because they're durable and allow catch-and-release fishing.
How much does taxidermy cost in the Vero Beach area?
Pricing varies by the type and size of the mount. Fish mounts typically run by the inch, while shoulder mounts for deer start in the mid-hundreds and go up from there. Contact Tony's directly for a specific quote based on your specimen.
