MCS is a full service studio handling Exotics, North
American and International small and big game. Birds, Waterfowl,
Fresh and Saltwater Fish, Reptiles, Replicas and Reproductions.
Rugmaking, mount cleaning and restorations are handled as well. Our
studio offers freeze-dry services for small game species and turkey
head preservation. Mounts larger than squirrels are conventional
tanned and mounted. With the exception of our larger shoulder, rugs,
pelts and life-size mounts. All other tanning is done on the
premise. Please check our information page for our terms and
conditions and field care guide.
We take pride in marking and tagging each specimen
and it’s components to guard against any possible mix-up. Each cape
has a rivet style tag with your name and I.D number in indelible
ink. This tag remains on the cape until the mounting process is
complete. Each set of horns or antlers are lightly engraved in an
inconspicuous rear spot with your initials and I.D. number along
with a temporary removable tag for identification. Your permit is
attached to the back of each mount. Commercially tanned pelts and
hides have unique punch marking identification.
I enjoy hunting and fishing with family and friends. We appreciate the outdoors and the pleasant memories we
have preserved in our personal mounts. Your trophies are given the
same exact care we demand of our own. As a measurer for several
associations, I have had the opportunity to view and score hundreds
of mounts. Regardless of their trophy potential, some are always
very good, attractive mounts. The type of mount anyone would be
proud to hang in their home. Others, shall we say epitomizes the old
quote “Ugly is forever” Trophies for the most part are a constant
reminder of a special time in your life. Please choose your
taxidermist carefully.
We invite you to explore our site or stop in and
visit our studio. Please contact me,
