Services & Process

Wayne's covers the foundational services most hunters and anglers need, starting with deer shoulder mounts that account for the bulk of work across Michigan each fall. Fish mounts are handled either as skin mounts or replicas, with replicas offering better long-term color stability for prized catches. Skull cleaning and antler display mounts give customers more affordable display options for their harvests. The studio also takes on bird mounts for waterfowl hunters, a relevant service given Macomb County's access to Lake St. Clair's duck hunting grounds.

Service Area

Wayne's Taxidermy serves Roseville and the surrounding Macomb County communities, including St. Clair Shores, Eastpointe, Warren, and Fraser. Customers from the northern Detroit suburbs regularly bring in work from hunting trips throughout Michigan and the Great Lakes region.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do with my deer cape if I can't bring it in right away?
Salt the flesh side of the cape heavily and fold it flesh to flesh, or freeze it as quickly as possible. Slipping the hair from heat or bacteria is one of the most common problems taxidermists deal with, so keeping it cool is the priority.
Do you mount fish caught from Lake St. Clair?
Yes, bass and walleye from Lake St. Clair are common pieces to come through the studio. A replica mount is often the best choice for a catch-and-release fish since you can get accurate sizing from a quick measurement before releasing it.
How much does a deer shoulder mount typically cost?
Pricing varies based on the form, finish options, and the studio's current rates, but deer shoulder mounts in Michigan generally range from around $400 to $700 or more. Call Wayne's directly for a current quote on your specific piece.
Can you mount ducks from the Lake St. Clair marshes?
Duck and waterfowl mounts are part of the studio's work, and the Lake St. Clair area is one of the top duck hunting spots in the state. Freeze birds individually in a natural position and bring them in as soon as your season allows.
What's the best way to store my mount long-term?
Keep mounts away from direct sunlight, which fades hides and paint over time, and avoid areas with high humidity that can encourage mold or odor. A light dusting with a soft brush every few months keeps them looking their best.
Do you offer any rush service for time-sensitive pieces?
It's worth asking about rush options directly, especially if you have a specific deadline like a competition or gift. Rush availability depends on the studio's current workload and the complexity of the piece.
