Taxidermists in Brown County, Wisconsin
Brown County offers diverse hunting opportunities, from early season geese in the cut corn to late season whitetails in the heavy timber. When you finally connect on a trophy, you need a local shop that understands the specific anatomy of Wisconsin game. A quality mount preserves the memory of the hunt and respects the animal you harvested in the field.
Green Bay serves as the main hub for taxidermy services in this area. High Wet & Wild Taxidermy operates in the city, providing specialized work for hunters who need their birds or big game preserved. Having a professional close to home makes it easier to handle drop-offs and discuss your specific display requirements.

Using taxidermists in Brown 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.
