Summer is here and your trophies from last fall are at the taxidermy studio being prepared to go onto your wall next to the rest of your collection. This is a good time to look at your other mounts to determine if there are any problems so you can bring the new trophies home to a safe environment.

There are many things to consider when preserving your hunting memories, but location, temperature and insect control are often overlooked and not taken seriously.

Regular homeowner insurance policies do not cover taxidermy mounts although, you can insure them through Safari Club International but insect damage is not covered so insect control is up to you.

In choosing the location for your mount make sure it will be protected from children and pets. Pets cause a large amount of the damage to the mounts brought to us for repair. Dogs especially love to chew on taxidermy and many fish and birds have come to us for repair after children have knocked them off of the wall.
