About Trainer Taxidermy

Trainer Taxidermy is located in Malvern, Pennsylvania, a borough in Chester County situated along the Main Line corridor west of Philadelphia. Chester County has a long hunting heritage, with managed deer populations across its mix of preserved farmland, state game lands, and private properties. The area also draws anglers fishing the Brandywine Creek and its tributaries. Proximity to a major metropolitan area like Philadelphia means Trainer Taxidermy serves not just local hunters but also collectors, home decorators, and institutions looking for quality preserved wildlife pieces.

Services & Process

Trainer Taxidermy offers trophy and display work that fits the varied clientele Chester County attracts. Whitetail deer shoulder mounts are standard, with careful attention to eye positioning and hide texture that separates quality work from average results. Fish taxidermy is particularly relevant here given the Brandywine watershed's trout and bass population, with skin mounts and fiberglass reproductions both available. Full body mounts for smaller mammals and birds serve collectors and educational clients who want a more immersive display than a wall mount provides.

Service Area

Trainer Taxidermy serves clients throughout Malvern and Chester County, including the Main Line communities to the east and the more rural areas toward the county's western edge. Hunters from Coatesville, Downingtown, and West Chester also use the studio. Its location makes it accessible to both suburban and rural clients in the greater Philadelphia region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Trainer Taxidermy work with specimens from Chester County's state game lands?
Yes, game taken from state game lands in Chester County follows the same legal requirements as any other harvest, and the taxidermist will accept specimens with valid Pennsylvania harvest documentation. Keep in mind that certain migratory birds require federal permits, so confirm the species is legal to possess before bringing it in.
Do you do fish reproductions for catch-and-release anglers?
Reproductions are a great option for Brandywine or Octoraro Creek catches you want to release and still memorialize. You'll need to provide accurate measurements and good reference photos taken at the water, and the taxidermist will paint the reproduction to match your specific fish.
Can taxidermy pieces be used for educational displays in schools?
Educational institutions regularly work with taxidermists to source specimens for science programs, nature centers, and museum-style displays. Pieces need to comply with wildlife possession laws, and a reputable studio can help confirm that everything is legally documented before the piece changes hands.
How do I store a specimen if I can't drop it off right away?
Freeze the specimen as soon as possible if you can't get to the studio within 24 to 48 hours. Wrap it in a plastic bag and remove as much air as possible before freezing, and label it with the species, date, and your contact information.
What's the price range for a deer shoulder mount in Chester County?
Shoulder mount pricing varies based on pose complexity, form selection, and the studio's experience level, but expect to pay anywhere from $500 to over $1,000 in the Pennsylvania market. Studios closer to urban areas like the Main Line corridor may price toward the higher end given their overhead and clientele.
Can I commission a full body mount for a deer or wild turkey?
Full body mounts are significantly more involved and expensive than shoulder mounts, requiring a full-length form, complete hide preparation, and more detailed finishing work. They're a striking display piece but typically run two to three times the cost of a comparable shoulder mount.
