Services & Process

Wingrove Taxidermy handles the core services hunters and anglers in the South Bay need most. Trophy deer mounts are a staple, involving careful skin preparation, form fitting, and finishing work to capture a natural pose. Fish mounts, whether replica or skin-based, require precise color matching and detail work to hold up over time. Bird mounts and smaller game preservation round out the typical offerings, giving customers a single local stop for most of their taxidermy needs.

Service Area

Wingrove Taxidermy serves customers throughout Campbell and the broader South Bay Area, including San Jose, Los Gatos, and Saratoga. Hunters coming from the Santa Cruz Mountains or the Diablo Range also make the short drive to drop off work. The central South Bay location makes it accessible from most of Santa Clara County.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after a hunt should I bring my animal in?
You should get your specimen to the taxidermist as quickly as possible, ideally within a few hours of the harvest. If you can't bring it in right away, keep the animal cool and avoid cutting the hide in areas you want preserved.
How long does a deer mount typically take?
Most deer shoulder mounts take anywhere from six months to a year, depending on the shop's current workload. Tanning and drying alone take significant time, so patience is part of the process.
Does Wingrove Taxidermy do fish mounts?
Most taxidermists in the Campbell area handle fish mounts for common California species like bass, trout, and striped bass. It's worth calling ahead to confirm they can work with the specific species you caught.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a replica fish mount?
A skin mount uses the actual fish skin stretched over a form, while a replica is a fiberglass reproduction painted to match your catch. Replicas tend to last longer and allow you to release the fish before calling the taxidermist.
How much does taxidermy work cost in the Campbell area?
Pricing varies widely by species and mount type. A deer shoulder mount might run anywhere from $400 to $700, while full body mounts on larger animals cost significantly more. Get a written quote before leaving your specimen.
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Calling ahead is always the smarter move, especially during deer season when shops get busy fast. An appointment also gives the taxidermist time to prepare and give you their full attention when you arrive.
