Dead Heads Taxidermy

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to the local butchers that caped many of the bucks that were brought to me to shoulder mount this season. Clean and quality work coming from the NEK! We are fortunate to have great options in our community for wild game processing 🦌

Last Day Magic in Vermont!

Came up to this buck bedded up on a ridge 100 yards away and closed the season out within the last hour of Rifle on my dad’s birthday with my good buddy in attendance!

Memories and the people you make them with is what makes the woods such a special place!

Closing the books for 2025 Shoulder mounts, I’ve hit my cap for new clients! If we have spoken already your spot is reserved, and if you are a returning client and want a shoulder mount I do have some space reserved for returning business. I’m also happy to make recommendations for other taxidermist, so still reach out if your looking to be pointed in the right direction.

Still plenty of room for European mounts and crown mounts 🦌

What a season this has been, thank you to all who have given me a chance and I look forward to diving right in when I’m back in VT!

Meat in the freezer! Threaded the needle right to the heart, 120.3 yards with the 308, nice way to break it in! Let’s hope I can fill my buck tag and my last doe tag, handful more hunts left out here before heading home.

Mornings we live for! Primed and ready to roll thanks to - nice way to kick off the day, touching off the DHT savage followed by a long drag from the woods.

Congrats to my old man for knockin one down this morning, been out here since opening day and finally punched his buck tag. This old farm land has always produced deer for us! We got 5 more tags to fill and plenty of days left! 🦌

Awesome velvet mule deer, just finished a whitenening job on it and thought this would be a good example to share. The condition of your skull, cape or what ever else your looking to have preserved and mounted is going to determine the outcome. When a skull is left with any tissue, grease and blood on it for long periods of time and drys up, or is hard boiled it’s close to impossible to get that stain completely out with peroxide. No fault to the hunter, as he did what he was supposed to so he could travel back with this beautiful buck! Just wanted to throw that out there as I’ve seen a good number of skulls like this brought to me over the years.

Your best bet for a perfectly white euro is to keep the fur on and get it in a freezer or right to your taxidermist. That or know that a proper paint job is another route you can take, though it takes away from the natural bone just some thing to consider. One way or another here at DHT I will do my absolute best to snap your old skulls back!

Thanks Charlie for the opportunity to work with this velvet Muley! Not every day I get to see one of these!
