Taxidermists in Harrison County, Ohio

Harrison County hunters have plenty of opportunities to fill tags, especially with the public access available at Tappan Lake and the surrounding wildlife areas. Whether you are hunting the deep hollows for a mature buck or calling in a spring gobbler, you need a local option to preserve your trophy once the work in the field is finished.

There is currently one professional taxidermy shop listed in the county, located south in Freeport. Lonely Pines Taxidermy handles local mounts for sportsmen in the area. Having a shop nearby makes it easier to drop off your harvest quickly and discuss the specific details of the mount without driving across the state.

Using taxidermists in Harrison 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.
