Converse Taxidermy is a family owned business in Upstate NY. Owned and operated by Robert Converse Jr. himself, a lifelong hunter and outdoor enthusiast!

I am a lifelong hunter and outdoor enthusiast. I also have a trapping background where I developed my skinning talents at a young age. I have a deep appreciation for wildlife and I know what a trophy means to the hunter. I study animals constantly in their natural environment and in my shop. Study and practice has greatly enhanced my ability to create a life like mount. I have over twenty-five yea

rs of experience and have done over nine hundred deer mounts. This experience combined with 100% hands on by myself only, is the perfect recipe for a finished product that looks like you should have to feed it. I concentrate on fur bearing species so it’s never a “get them out the door” production run. I reserve time and patience for quality…
In closing, I probably wrote more than you care to read after all, hunters don’t look at these websites to read the articles we want to see the pictures…Enjoy!

It's looking like the middle of hunting season. A number of racks have been picked up by the taker as well. Biggest one in there is a 143-4 net.

Ok, this is getting annoying. Page 22 of your syllabus,.. please read and follow directions. 90% of heads coming in have no tag or information attached to them. The butcher is supposed to keep the tag with the meat. The taker is supposed to make another one and attach it to the head for transport to the Taxidermist. If you don't do this, be prepared to do it when you are here because I'm getting tired of chasing down this information. I have one foot in the retirement door,...I don't want to have to refuse you.

Do yourself a favor,... please don't hang them by the neck, they are already dead, no need for strangling. Those dark areas is damage to the hide. You can imagine what it's doing to the hair side. It breaks the hair, pulls it out and stretches and deforms the hide.

I can't stress this enough. Every season I get a few in that are limited as to the style of mount they can get and in a worse case scenario the cape is ruined. Follow the blue lines and cut around the Deer at the thick red line. If you don't trust your butcher, make the cuts before you take it. Amish butchers aren't great at caping. Nothing against them, they just aren't concerned with Taxidermy.

Mount finished recently; Super Adirondack Buck taken by Jim VanAlstine.
I almost forgot to post this. That's why I'm posting so late on the eve of the 2024 northern zone regular season. Taken just a mile or so inside the blue line but in is in. I'm going to follow up with a write up on this Buck but for now congrats! Jim on a superb Adirondack Buck. The biggest Buck I got in to mount of the 2023 season.
Good luck to all hunters this season.

Just a short time ago this evening. Nice looking 10 pointer. I got a real good look at him and counted every point but this is the best I could do through the windshield of my car in the rain. Get your youth hunters out there this weekend,...seems to be a lot of Deer this season. Good luck!

Mounts finished recently;
6 and 8 pointer taken by Maverick Maciejko.
Maverick, thirteen years old last season, took the six pointer with a muzzleloader and then took the eight pointer with rifle. With a name like Maverick I think we'll be seeing more of him.
Congrats Maverick!

Taker wishes to remain anonymous.
Beautiful wide 8 pointer.
Sometimes the taker doesn't want to draw attention to where they hunt.

Mount finished recently;
3 pointer, one under an inch, taken by Dan Mullin.
Mounted on a 4000 series, full sneak, McKenzie. "Exactly how he looked coming through the pines".
With the proper respect for the animal being a worthy adversary, the same proper respect for the manner of taking regarding fair chase ethics and so on, they are all trophies. Preserving the memory for your lifetime.
