Cifax Taxidermy

02/19/2024

A sweet woman that I work with brought me these BEAUTIFUL antlers from a deer her grandfather killed many years ago. The deer was originally mounted (I think in the 70’s) and was taken apart but the antlers saved.

She wanted a way to preserve and showcase these beautiful antlers so I did a simple antler mount that now will be hung over her pretty rock fireplace 💛

These antlers were too pretty to take a picture of in my basement so I brought them to my sunroom since the suede looked good against my rug lol

The most recent mounts ready to be picked up!

First fox mounted under Cifax Taxidermy that was picked up by a happy customer this past weekend 🦊

Have a bear, squirrel and deer currently drying and up next to mount this week/weekend are a couple deer, squirrel and some skull mounts. Trying to knock out as many mounts as I can before my batch at the tannery is ready so be on the lookout for some more pictures!

A few mounts that have been finished and picked up - trying to knock these mounts out before the rush of the 23-24 season starts!

Happy Hunting Season!!

You can find the 2023-2024 price list pinned to the top of the page under services.

A few things have changed for the 2023-2024 season. I am no longer taking any European mounts or any skull mounts. I am also no longer taking any squirrels. Deer mounts will no longer come with a plaque and name tag - they will be an additional cost of $40.

There is a $200 minimal deposit required on all mounts excluding bear. All bear mounts will be a $400 minimal deposit required.

My turn around time is currently a year to a year and a half out.

I do my best to try and get everything out in a timely manner but please be mindful that this is NOT my full time job. I have a regular Monday - Friday job as well as being a wife and mother so please be patient and respectful of my time.

Thank you all who have trusted me with your mounts and recommended me to your friends and family! I look forward to serving you this season!

Six mounts ready for pick up - trying to get as much done before hunting season starts back up so be on the lookout for new posts!

Also, if you are waiting on a mount, thank you for being patient. I promise I am working hard to get them back to you - as always, I appreciate your business!

Buck from the 2021 season that had a rotten hide so I had to use a replacement hide - that the hunter so graciously provided during the 2022 season!

This buck was taken by one of our really good friends on our farm - this is the first buck I’ve mount from the farm so it’s pretty special!

02/19/2023

Two mounts that I finished today!

This was my first half mount buck and I was pretty excited and nervous going into it - I am pretty happy with the end result!

This was also my first time repositioning a head on a bobcat - the customer wanted it looking more downward instead of straight out so I cut the head off and positioned the head so that the nose was about an inch and a half angled down compared to straight out!

Up next to mount are a few more bobcats, a couple deer, some squirrels and a bear!

I’m slacking on posting but I have been steadily working over here - finishing up the last few mounts of last season while bringing in some nice ones this season!

I’ve brought in almost triple what I brought in last year at this time so thank YOU for your recommendations and trusting me with your mounts!

09/11/2022

Another bobcat done and ready to be picked up!

I just received the last shipment of hides from the 2021 season from the tannery last week. I had hoped to get everything done before this upcoming season starts but unfortunately, I don’t see that happening. Just know I am working hard to get everything done as quickly as I can without compromising quality! I appreciate your patience and understanding!

Thank you all for supporting Cifax Taxidermy - I am looking forward to the upcoming hunting season!

08/11/2022

Finished my last bear mount of the 2021 season last night!

I still have a few mounts left to finish from last season (all but one hide is still at the tannery) but I am looking forward to the 2022 season to start!

08/08/2022

Some of my most recent mounts!

06/16/2022

Two bucks and a Turkey tail that I recently finished!

05/01/2022

Whitetail deer shoulder wall pedestal mount!

One day I’ll have a better place to take pictures of these beautiful mounts - for now, you get to look at the lovely insulation in my basement lol

05/01/2022

500+lb bear open mouth shoulder mount - killed by a 12 year old boy - slide to the last page to see my hand in comparison to the size of the head!

03/27/2022

Finished and delivered this bobcat to my cousin, Ashley - she brought it to me to mount all the way from Currituck County in NC!

I love being able to finish pieces for family and friends but I always get a little nervous upon completion and pickup thinking they’ll hate it lol thankfully, that wasn’t the case here!

Thank you, Ashley for trusting me to preserve your beautiful bobcat 🧡

02/13/2022

The first official deer of Cifax Taxidermy is finished - the customer picked it up this evening and was very pleased with the finished product! 🦌

12/01/2021

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me enough to bring me your trophies to mount - it means a lot to me and I am looking forward to preserving these memories for you!

Completed this bobcat for another customer back in August and he requested a darker nose than what is in this picture - I never took a picture of the whole bobcat after changing the nose but the last picture is an up close picture of the face with the darker nose!

If there is something you aren’t happy with don’t be afraid to speak up! I will do what I can to change it to ensure you’re happy with your mount!

11/20/2021

Another bobcat picked up this week - another happy customer!

Ignore the pretty little Christmas pillow, I didn’t have anywhere to hang it in the house!

11/20/2021

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything but I’ve been busy working 🦌

Nothing like finishing up a bobcat mount on your kitchen table at 9pm on a Sunday night!
