Taxidermists in Caswell County, North Carolina

Caswell County is a top destination for North Carolina hunters, especially for those chasing big bucks in the northern Piedmont. With its mix of rolling farmland and hardwood ridges, the area consistently produces quality deer. When you harvest a trophy here, you want a local professional who understands the anatomy of a mature Southern buck to handle the shoulder mount or skull work.

There is currently one taxidermy shop listed in the county located in Semora. Non-Typical Taxidermy serves hunters coming off the fields near the Hyco Lake area. Having a shop right in Semora makes it easy to drop off your deer or turkey while the cape is still fresh, ensuring the best possible results for your mount.

Using taxidermists in Caswell 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.
