Services & Process

Trophy Room Taxidermy handles the full range of mount styles that hunters and anglers bring through the door. Shoulder mounts are the most requested service, involving careful hide preparation, form fitting, and detailed finishing work on antlers and facial features. Fish mounts can be done using the actual skin or a reproduction cast, depending on the client's preference and the condition of the catch. They also work on bird mounts, which require precise feather grooming and positioning to capture natural poses.

Service Area

Trophy Room Taxidermy is based in Riverside and regularly works with clients from across the Inland Empire, including Corona, Moreno Valley, and San Bernardino. Hunters coming in from the Big Bear or Hemet areas will find the studio conveniently located off the I-215 corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a deer shoulder mount take at Trophy Room Taxidermy?
Shoulder mounts typically take anywhere from 3 to 8 months depending on the studio's current workload and the complexity of your specific piece. It's a good idea to ask for a time estimate when you drop off your trophy so you're not left guessing.
What should I do with my deer cape before bringing it in?
If you can't get to the studio right away, keep the cape cool or frozen to prevent slippage and hair loss. Avoid salting it yourself unless you're experienced, since improper salting can actually damage the hide.
Do they mount fish caught in the local Southern California area?
Yes, they work on a variety of fish species common to the region, including bass, catfish, and trout. Reproduction mounts are often recommended for catch-and-release fish since a quality cast can look just as realistic as a skin mount.
Can I get a mount done as a gift for someone else?
Absolutely. Many customers bring in trophies on behalf of a spouse or family member who harvested the animal. Just make sure you have the details about the animal and the recipient's preferences so the taxidermist can guide you on pose and style.
Is a 4.0 rating good for a taxidermist?
Taxidermy studios often have fewer reviews than restaurants or retail shops, so a 4.0 rating across 12 reviews reflects genuine customer feedback worth taking seriously. Reading through the individual reviews will give you a clearer sense of what past clients appreciated about the work.
Do taxidermists in Riverside handle wild boar mounts?
Wild boar is a popular game animal in the hills around Riverside and San Diego counties, so local studios are generally well-practiced with pig mounts. Full body and shoulder mounts are both common options, and a good taxidermist will help you pick the pose that fits your space.
