With good shoulder mounts costing upwards of $ 500, what are you guys doing to keep them looking great? I have seen some mounts 20 years old that look phenomenal, and others that look like zombie deer. How do you guys take care of your mounts? If any taxidermists are around, what do you recommend? What should we be doing to ensure our mounts stay looking great?

Any Okies on here that can recommend a good taxidermist to mount a Big Bull Elk for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey all,
I am looking for a taxidermist with great skills within a 2hr drive from Albany NY. As you may have seen, I have another thread started about a mount I just got back that I am not happy with. I am looking for a taxidermist that can remount it. The cape probably cannot be reused so I will most likely need a new cape. Also, one of the tines was repaired by the other taxidermist…it is o.k. BUT could use some touch up. My criteria is a taxidermist who can do a great job and make this deer mount look much better.

Thanks!

This is my 2013 buck. He’s not done yet. Still gotta airbrush him. He said the pics don’t do it justice. I’ll get him back in about 2 weeks. Can’t wait to get him on the wall.

Alright guys well back in November I dropped a buck off at a new taxidermist for me, all the reviews online were positive and he was known for having a quick turnaround time. He told me my buck should be done in January, so in the beginning of January I gave him a call just to see when I should pick it up, he tells me he just put the hide on the form and it’ll be done in 3 weeks. Well almost 2 months go by so I call him again, this time he gives me the same answer, he tells me he just put the hide on the form the day before and it’ll be ready in about 3 weeks and he’ll call me a week before its done. I was a little perplexed and wanted to call him out on it but didn’t want to make him mad and have something happen, well its been 2 weeks since that last call and i don’t know this is something I’ve never dealt with, anyone have any advice on what to do?
