Taxidermy Restoration

Old mounts that have been mistreated or mounted poorly we can fix to make look new again.

• Fish can be completely repainted with new eyes, new fins, and can look almost new again
• Most game heads like deer can be recapped and also can look brand new again

Skull cleaning

The skull of an animal is often cleaned and displayed as a trophy as well as the rest of the animal so we offer skull cleaning. If a big game animal such as a deer, elk, or moose is not big enough to get a shoulder mount often times people get the skull cleaned as a unique new way of displaying their trophy

• we use dermisted beetles to clean the skulls
• any skulls from a mouse to a moose can be cleaned
• The skull is also whitened with peroxide
• There are wholesale and retail prices available with the wholesale price only available to other taxidermists.
