Taxidermists in Union County, South Carolina

Union County hunters have two main choices for taxidermy services located right in the city of Union. The local shops handle a variety of game, but most traffic involves the large whitetails pulled from the surrounding Sumter National Forest and private timber tracts. Since many guys hunt the Broad River basin, finding a shop that understands the local deer quality is important for a good mount.

One of the active businesses in the area is Broad River Taxidermy & Deer Processing, which offers a convenient setup for those needing both butchering and mounting. Whether you are looking for a standard shoulder mount or a European mount, these local taxidermists serve the Union area well. It is best to call ahead during the peak of the rut to check their current turnaround times.

Using taxidermists in Union 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.
