Predator taxidermy questions.

What predators and mammals do you mount?

Bear, red fox, grey fox, coyote, raccoon and squirrel.

What is a trapper tan?

A trapper tan, also called a wall hanger tan, is the tanned hide to hang on the wall instead of a full body mount. Every predator and mammal Bryan does can be done either way.

How long does a predator mount take?

Right now nothing will exceed 12 months from the date you drop your animal off unless otherwise discussed. In many cases the turnaround time is 4 to 8 months. Expedited work can be handled, case by case.

What do I need when I drop off a predator?

As a licensed taxidermist in Maryland, Bryan documents several fields when you drop off your animal: name, license or state ID, address, phone number, confirmation number if applicable, harvest date and harvest location. Write it on the tag you keep with the animal, and take a screenshot of your harvest record if you check it in electronically.

How should I keep it until I bring it in?

In general, keep your animal cool and dry and get it to Bryan as soon as is feasible. If you are freezing it for an extended period, keep it in a sealed plastic bag and remove as much air as possible.

Also mounted at the shop: deer taxidermy, turkey taxidermy, waterfowl taxidermy. Or see every mount and the gallery.
