We are a full time studio

Deer  shoulder Mounts

We began our business with deer shoulder mounts. Having our own trophy deer that need mounted, we know what a hunter was looking for, quality, cost effective, and fast return time. 

The forms and eyes we use are top quality. We choose forms that work with Iowa bucks measured to fit your deer per your specific design request.

Quality deer mounts include:

• Eyes that look real, proportional and with expression.
• Ears should continue to add expression to your deer. You can change the expression or mood of your deer just by the position of the ears.
• Nose should look real by having the “wet” look and texture.
• The rack position should sit naturally on the head in correct position from the eyes.
• Capes are tanned in house.
• Fully insured!

Skull Mounts

At Scovel Taxidermy we NEVER boil your skulls! We use professional methods to achieve exceptional results.

When you boil your skull the quality goes down drastically. Boiling is hard in the fine nasal bones. It can also discolor your rack. If you have too high of temperature the bones could fall apart entirely. 

We have a 3 step process.

1. Prep and clean your skulls using the best professional method suited for your skull.
2. After thoroughly, yet gently cleaning your skull we take the time to  thoroughly sanitized and degrease your skull.
3. The third  step we finally get to whiten your skull until it is museum quality white.

If you're looking to add something special or a little more personality to your skull mount we offer hydro dipping. We can customize your skull with camo prints or virtually any print you might visualized.
