Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you mount pets and tan hides for domestic livestock?
A: No.  We only handle game animals and birds.


Q: What do I need to bring to you besides the hide/antlers?
A: We will need a copy of your license / tag.


Q: Can you do taxidermy repairs?
A: It may be possible to do some repairs or a remount using a new hide.


Q: Can you mount road kill or a dead bird I found?
A: No.  All work must come in with a valid hunting license/tag/permit.  Some birds, owls, hawks, eagles are protected and it may be illegal for them to be in your possession.


Q: Do you ship?
A:Yes, call us for rates.


Q: How long does it take to get a mount back?
A: The timeframe is typically 4-8 months depending on the time of year and the workload at the tannery.


Q: What will you need if I want a fish replica?
A: Take color photos of your fish fresh out of the water.  Measurements of length and girth dimensions are also helpful.


Q: Do you have any mounts for sale?
A: We occasionally have mounts for sale.  Call and ask what we have available.


Q: My trophy deer/elk hide/antler has damage, is there anything that can be done?
A: Maybe.  If the hide cannot be repaired or the damage hidden from view, we may have a replacement cape (fee).  For antlers, we need to assess the damage and can let you know if a repair can or should be made.
