About Zaring Taxidermy

Zaring Taxidermy operates out of Liverpool, Pennsylvania, a small Perry County community along the Susquehanna River where hunting and fishing are central to everyday life. This part of the state sits between Harrisburg and the Susquehanna Valley's broader sportsman culture, giving local taxidermists a steady stream of deer, turkey, and waterfowl work each season. Liverpool's rural setting means customers here often have long relationships with local craftspeople and expect personal service over a transactional experience. The studio serves a clientele that values honest communication and quality results.

Services & Process

Taxidermy in Perry County covers the full spectrum of local game, starting with whitetail deer shoulder mounts and extending to wild turkey fan mounts and full strut displays. Waterfowl mounts are also a natural fit given the Susquehanna's reputation for duck and goose hunting each fall. Skull cleaning, whether through maceration or beetle cleaning methods, is offered for hunters who want a clean European-style display. Antler mounting on plaques and decorative panels rounds out the typical service list for a studio serving this kind of outdoor-focused community.

Service Area

Zaring Taxidermy serves customers throughout Perry County and the surrounding Susquehanna Valley region. Hunters from Newport, Marysville, and Duncannon are within easy driving distance. The studio also draws customers from across the river in Dauphin County and from the Harrisburg area looking for a trusted local option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you mount waterfowl taken on the Susquehanna?
Yes, duck and goose mounts are a regular part of the workload here. Bring the bird in as fresh as possible and avoid washing or thawing it if it's been frozen, since improper thawing can damage feathers.
How do I prepare a wild turkey for mounting?
Keep the feathers dry and avoid field dressing in a way that damages the breast or fan. Bag the bird carefully and get it to the studio or a freezer quickly. A full strut mount requires the whole bird in good condition.
What's the typical cost for a whitetail shoulder mount?
Prices vary by region and studio, but most Pennsylvania taxidermists charge between $450 and $700 for a standard shoulder mount. Ask for a written quote before leaving your animal.
Can I get a mount of a fish I caught in the Susquehanna?
Yes. Smallmouth bass and walleye are the most common requests from river anglers. You can bring in the actual fish or opt for a reproduction mount, which doesn't require the skin and often produces cleaner long-term results.
How do I know when my mount is ready?
Most studios will call or text you when the work is complete. If you haven't heard anything and the estimated date has passed, don't hesitate to follow up. Communication is part of the service.
Is there a deposit required when I drop off my animal?
Most taxidermists require a deposit of 25 to 50 percent at drop-off to cover material costs. Get a receipt and a written agreement that includes the expected timeline and total price.
