About Vermont Taxidermy

Vermont Taxidermy is located in Burlington, the state's largest city and a hub for outdoor recreation in the Green Mountain State. It holds a 5-star rating and brings professional taxidermy services to a city that's surprisingly well-connected to Vermont's hunting and fishing culture despite its urban character. Burlington's waterfront on Lake Champlain, combined with easy access to the Green Mountains and surrounding agricultural land, means there's a real and consistent demand for quality mount work here. This studio is a reliable option for sportsmen across the greater Burlington area.

Services & Process

Vermont Taxidermy works with the full range of game and fish species common to the region. Whitetail deer shoulder mounts and European skull mounts are core offerings, as are full body mounts for black bear and other big game taken in the Green Mountains. Fish mounting covers the popular sport fish of Lake Champlain, including pike, bass, and walleye, using both skin and replica methods. Waterfowl and upland bird mounts are available for hunters who work the Champlain Valley marshes and fields each fall.

Service Area

Vermont Taxidermy serves the Burlington metro area including Winooski, South Burlington, and Williston. Customers from Shelburne, Charlotte, and other Chittenden County towns also make the short trip to Burlington for mount work given its central location.

Frequently Asked Questions

I live in Burlington, not a rural area. Can I still use a local taxidermist?
Absolutely. Many Burlington-area hunters live in or near the city and travel to hunt in the surrounding counties or across Vermont. A Burlington studio is often the most convenient drop-off point for people heading home after a hunt regardless of where they took their game.
What should I bring when I drop off a deer for mounting?
Bring the cape and skull if you want a shoulder mount, or the full skull if you're going with a European mount. Have an idea of what pose you want and where you plan to hang the finished piece, as dimensions matter when choosing a form. The taxidermist will walk you through the rest.
Can waterfowl be mounted after a hunt on Lake Champlain?
Yes, ducks and geese taken along the Champlain Valley are commonly brought in for mounting. Keeping the bird in good shape after the hunt is key, so avoid rough handling and get it cool as quickly as possible. A mount of a mallard or Canada goose in a landing or swimming pose makes a great display.
How much does a fish replica cost compared to a skin mount?
Replica mounts are generally priced similarly to or slightly higher than skin mounts depending on the species and size. The advantage of a replica is that it won't fade or shrink over time the way a skin mount can. For a trophy fish, the extra investment is usually worth it.
Do Vermont taxidermists need any documentation for black bear or moose?
Vermont requires bears and moose to be registered with the state, and the taxidermist will likely ask to see your tag or registration confirmation before accepting the specimen. Make sure your paperwork is in order before you arrive, and contact Vermont Fish and Wildlife if you have questions about requirements.
How do I know if a taxidermist does quality work before I commit?
Ask to see photos of previous work, especially for the type of mount you're interested in. Online reviews and word of mouth from other hunters in the area are also reliable indicators. A taxidermist who is confident in their work will be happy to show you examples.
