With opening day of rifle season coming up soon, we wanted to share a picture of a recent mount we completed. Feel free to reach out to us about getting your deer mounted this coming season. Another thing we will be offering this year is CWD testing. We will be working as a cooperator with NC Wildlife to assist with collecting samples for CWD testing. CWD testing is free for anyone needing/wanting a deer tested. Give us a call for any questions regarding taxidermy or CWD testing.

Thanks,
Dawson

With deer season kicking off here in NC, we hope everyone hitting the woods has a safe and successful opening day! Just a reminder that we will be taking in a limited number of deer this year. Also there have been many questions regarding the changes related to CWD this season. We are here to help answer any questions we can, and also assist in getting your deer to us. Feel free to give us a call anytime!

Thanks,
Dawson

As the 2022-2023 season comes to an end, all we can say is THANK YOU! We have truly been blessed with some of the best customers anyone could imagine. With that being said we are working hard to get everyone’s projects taken care of, so y’all keep an eye out as we begin to post the projects that are in the works and others that we’re finishing up.

We are FULL!!
Well kinda….

With that being said, we are not currently accepting anymore large game but we have room for a very limited number of small game. However, we are STILL ACCEPTING both upland birds and waterfowl. This is a post I had not anticipated making our first year in business, however we have been truly blessed with some awesome customers so far this year. I would like to apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause but for the sake of maintaining a reasonable turnaround time this is a step we feel must be taken. We hope to be accepting more large game again starting in March. If you can not hold onto your work until we are accepting large game, feel free to give us a call and we will be happy to recommend you to Michael Shelton at Nevermore Taxidermy. Once again, thank you all for making our first full season a huge success. We truly appreciate each and every person who have made this possible!

We would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! We’ve spent the last few days in the swamp and celebrating with friends and family. We would also like to say thank you to all of our customers that have made our first season a huge success!

With deer season now in full swing here in NC, we felt the need to share this diagram. We’ve had a few people contact us about the proper/preferred way to cape a deer out for the taxidermist. If you have any questions or need some assistance we’re more than happy to help answer questions or meet you at our shop to cape the deer for you when available. Give us a call!
