How to Prep Your Game for Mounting
It is important that you properly prepare your animal for mounting.
Good hide preparation can make or break a mount. As soon as an animal is
taken it will begin to decompose. Bacteria present in the animal begin breaking
it down quickly, so it is best to act fast. The faster you get your specimen to
a taxidermist, the better the finished product will be. Don’t assume your meat
processor or outfitter understands how to properly prepare your specimen for
taxidermy. I prefer to cape trophies before they go to a processor. This will
ensure your trophy does not sit on a processor’s floor as it continues to
decompose. Many mounts have been ruined by poor field care. Here are a few field
care tips that can help you avoid problems later.
- Keep your specimen cold, away from heat sources (ex. Car engines or hot
truck beds), and out of the sun.
- Limit dragging as much as possible. Always place drag ropes around the
antlers to avoid rope friction on the neck hair. This can cut and damage the
hair.
- Never slit the throat on any big game animal. Repairs are difficult in
this area.
- Use safety pins to tag game or zip ties to the antlers instead of cutting
holes in the ears.
- Don’t shoot unnecessarily. Repairs can be difficult to conceal.
- Never leave your fish in warm water.
- Keep game birds out of vests so they will cool and plumage will not be
damaged. Use paper towels to soak up any blood. Always protect the tail
feathers. Feathers are difficult to replace.
- Don’t allow dogs to retrieve game to be mounted.
- Decide how you will care for a trophy before taking a hunting or fishing
trip. A little homework and preparation on your part can ensure you will
receive a beautiful mount.
- When you are not sure how to care for a specimen and are unable to reach a
taxidermist, freezing the specimen is your safest bet.
