Cold Springs Taxidermy

I've mostly been tanning deer capes the last month from the '23 season. Here are a few I've completed and a few other projects I finished up. Thanks for your patience!

Last turkey from 2023 is drying 🦃🦃🦃
Updates: I have started mounting and tanning 2023 deer shoulder mounts. It does take me longer tanning them myself but its still faster than waiting over a year to get deer capes back from a tannery. Thanks for your patience! 🦌🦌🦌

Finished this turkey half body mount on a plaque. The customer is going to attach the preserved feet with a picture on the bottom part of the plaque. Something to think about if you're between a fan mount and a full body turkey mount🦃🦃🦃

*Shop Updates* Happy New Year! 2023 was an extremely busy year at the shop. I want to thank everyone that dropped off any taxidermy projects, bought seed, or hired me for food plot work this last year. It means a lot to me!

I'm down to single digits on 2022 deer shoulder mounts. I've mostly been tanning capes the last few weeks. Still working on 2023 Euro mounts also.🦌🦌

Big announcements coming in 2024 on the Food Plot Seed side of the business.🌻☘️🌾

Here's to a great 2024! Thank you for all your support!!

Some nice bucks were dropped off at the shop this last weekend. Thanks to everyone that came by!
Activity at my licking rope has really picked up lately. Lots of bucks and does coming by to check it out. I'm using Paul Pollick's Deer Gland Scents on it. These are full of gland scents not just deer urine like the big box store scents. Stop by and check them out before the Rut gets here! 🦌🦌🦌

With a few deer starting to come into the shop this last week I wanted to get my current prices posted. This will be my 3rd season since opening the shop and can't thank everyone enough for all your continued support.
