Taxidermists in Broomfield County, Colorado

Broomfield County is a smaller, highly developed area situated between Denver and Boulder. While most hunters travel outside the county lines to the nearby foothills or eastern plains for big game and waterfowl, there are local resources available for processing your harvest. Local zoning and the suburban nature of the county mean specialized services are limited compared to more rural parts of the state.

If you need a mount finished after a successful Colorado season, you can find professional services directly in the city of Broomfield. Artworks Taxidermy handles local projects, providing a convenient drop-off point for residents who don't want to drive deep into the mountains or across the metro area. Having a shop nearby simplifies the logistics of transporting capes and antlers for shoulder mounts or European displays.

Using taxidermists in Broomfield County

A taxidermist takes your cape and antlers, preps and tans the hide, then mounts the animal on a form. Most shops want the cape caped out and frozen, or the whole head delivered cold and unfrozen within a day or two of the kill.

What to ask before you commit

What is your current turnaround time, in months?
Do you tan in-house or send hides out?
What deposit do you require, and is it applied to the final price?
Can I see finished mounts of the same species?
How should I care for the cape before I bring it in?

What it usually costs

Shoulder mounts commonly run several hundred to well over a thousand dollars depending on species, form and finish work. European mounts are typically the least expensive option. Deposits of 30-50% are standard.

Timing matters

Get the cape cold fast. Do not salt or freeze a cape you plan to have mounted without asking the shop first — hair slip from a warm hide is the single most common ruined mount.
