Taxidermists in Morgan County, Ohio

Morgan County offers rugged terrain for deer and turkey hunters, particularly around the Muskingum River and the surrounding hills. When you harvest a trophy in these woods, you need a local professional who understands the anatomy of Ohio whitetails. Having a reliable contact nearby ensures you can get your hide and antlers delivered for processing before the meat or cape spoils in the field.

There is currently one established shop serving the area located in Crooksville. Kevin Fisher's Taxidermy provides mounting services for hunters coming out of the northern part of the county. Whether you are looking for a shoulder mount or specialty work, having a professional nearby saves you the long drive to the larger cities.

Using taxidermists in Morgan 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.
