Taxidermists in Valley County, Montana

Valley County holds some of the best big game hunting in Northeast Montana, drawing hunters to the Breaks and the open sagebrush for mule deer, antelope, and elk. If you pull a tag for the Missouri River country or land a trophy buck near the Milk River, you need a local option to handle the cape and horns.

There is currently one professional taxidermy shop listed in Glasgow to serve this region. Norseman Taxidermy Studio provides mounting services for local residents and traveling hunters passing through town. Having a taxidermist right in the county seat makes it easier to drop off your harvest before heading back home across the state.

Using taxidermists in Valley 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.
