All mounts are created by hand and may also contain a granite sub frame or other embellishments to add to the visual appeal of the trophy.

The trophy found in most North American big game taxidermy services come in two categories, one being trophies that are created from the skins of the animal. The second trophy category is trophies that utilize animal bones. When utilizing the skins of the animals, it is important that the taxidermist uses the skin of the animal in the mounted collection for a natural, seamless mount.

Some of the most popular trophy species utilized in North American or custom taxidermy services include elk, mule deer, moose, and even whitetail deer. Elk are the most difficult of the animals to find in the United States and as such, they are the most desired. Whitetails make up the second largest portion of the market and the taxidermist that specialize in deer hunting is very likely to have a large clientele that specializes in using their mounts. Other popular big game species used in a custom taxidermy services include bear, turkey, elk, moose, and mountain goats.

The taxidermist that specializes in utilizing deer hides or mule deer skins will need to have access to a tanning facility in order to produce the mounts. These facilities can often be found in National Parks, states that have whitetail deer hunting, or even in private homes. Whitetails are exceptionally resilient animals, but they do require the tanning process that is commonly used in order to preserve their natural glow. A well trained taxidermist can create a beautiful, natural looking mount for you.

In addition to the mounts that the taxidermist uses to create your custom taxidermy, he will also use other tools in his workshop in order to produce a number of different items. One of the most common items produced by the taxidermist is a set of antlers. Antlers can be found in many sizes, and from many different species of deer. The taxidermist will be able to tell you exactly which animal came from which species and what year it was killed.

Other pieces of custom taxidermy equipment include skinning tongs, whitetail scopes, and blood collection bags. These items may not be as necessary for you as the mounts, but they certainly will add to the finished look of the completed product. The skinning tongs will allow the taxidermist to cut off skin flakes and take them with him when he attends his special occasions. Whitetail scopes allow the hunter to see deep inside a deer's neck without having to remove the head. Blood collection bags are used to collect the blood from the tiniest critter, allowing the taxidermist to know just how much to kill for your meal. Whether you're looking for trophies, a true keepsake, or the tools of the trade, custom taxidermy has never been easier or more affordable.
