FAQS
CAN I GET A CUSTOM
POSE OR HABITAT?
Yes, we offer custom poses and habitat for an added fee, fees
vary by each project.
HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF
MY DEER IN THE FIELD?
It is best to avoid dragging a deer by hand across the ground
if possible, instead use a sled or vehicle to move a harvested
deer.
Dragging a deer across the ground can result in damage to
the cape, particularly on early season deer.
We STRONGLY recommend that deer intended for shoulder
mounts be caped and brought into the Studio as soon as
possible. If you are unable to bring the cape in as soon as
possible we recommend double bagging the caped deer in
trash bags and freezing until it can be brought into the
studio.
HOW DO I BEST PRESERVE A
FISH UNTIL BRINGING IT
IN?
It is best to bring a fish into the Studio the same day it is
caught, if unable to do so, simply wet the fish down with a cup
of water and place the fish on a damp bath towel, fold the
towel around the fish carefully, avoid wrapping so tight that it
bends any fins.
Place the towel containing the fish in a garbage bag and put
the garbage bag in a flat spot within your freezer so it freezes
flat. Keep the fish froze until it can be brought in.
DO YOU OFFER ANY
DISCOUNTS FOR VETERANS?
Yes, for veterans we offer a twenty-five-dollar discount on all
mounts regularly priced under five-hundred dollars and a
fifty-dollar discount on all mounts regularly priced over five-
hundred dollars.
