Services & Process

Trophy and shoulder mounts are a staple service, involving the preservation of an animal's hide over a sculpted form to recreate a lifelike pose for wall display. Fish mounting is another common offering, particularly relevant given the proximity to the Jersey Shore and its active recreational fishing community. Bird mounts, including waterfowl common to the coastal Atlantic County area, require careful feather preservation and wiring to hold natural poses. Customers can also typically arrange for basic skull cleaning and antler mounting alongside other services.

Service Area

Egg Harbor Township sits centrally in Atlantic County, making this provider accessible to customers across the surrounding shore communities. Hunters and anglers from Galloway, Pleasantville, Absecon, and as far as Cape May County make the trip for local taxidermy work. The Pine Barrens to the north also funnel in deer hunters from communities like Hammonton and Buena.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount saltwater fish caught off the Jersey Shore?
Taxidermists near the coast regularly work with saltwater species like striped bass, flounder, and bluefish. You'll want to keep the fish on ice and avoid freezer burn if possible, since the condition of the specimen directly affects the quality of the finished mount.
How do I find a taxidermist who works with waterfowl?
Not every taxidermist works with birds, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm. Providers in coastal New Jersey near the Atlantic flyway tend to have more experience with ducks, geese, and other migratory birds common to the region.
What's the typical turnaround time for a shoulder mount?
Most taxidermists quote anywhere from six months to over a year for shoulder mounts, depending on their current workload. Busy fall and winter seasons after deer and turkey harvests tend to push timelines out, so dropping your trophy off early is always a good idea.
How much does a deer shoulder mount cost in New Jersey?
Prices vary by provider, but deer shoulder mounts in New Jersey typically range from $450 to $750 or more, depending on complexity and the taxidermist's experience. It's a good idea to get a quote before committing and ask what's included in that price.
Do I need to do anything special with my deer hide before drop-off?
Keep the hide cool and avoid letting it sit in heat, which causes slippage where the hair separates from the skin. If you can't drop it off the same day, cape the hide and refrigerate or freeze it, but avoid freezer burn by wrapping it well.
Can taxidermists work with animals found dead, not hunted?
This depends on the species and local regulations. Some animals are protected under federal or state law, and mounting them, even if found dead, may require permits. Always check with the taxidermist and relevant wildlife authorities before bringing in any non-game animals.
