With a fish mount, the skin is removed and tanned much like other taxidermy procedures. However, after the skin has dried, the fish will have lost all its colors. It will take hours of careful painting by the taxidermist to get the colors and patterns correct and make the specimen look lifelike again.

Finally bagging that incredible piece of game is the result of long hours, a lot of work, and a certain degree of adventure. When you have a taxidermist prepare a trophy for you, you get to celebrate that experience every time you look at it.

In the mid and late 1800s taxidermists would preserve an animal by stuffing it with straw or sawdust, with very little concern for biological realism. Today taxidermy is used by museums (like the Smithsonian), and the attention to detail in regard to accuracy and authenticity is striking.

Many people are not familiar with the almost never seen animal called the jackalope, and for good reason: it doesn't exist except in the world of taxidermy. This is because of the Wyoming Merrick brothers, amateur taxidermists who decided to play a prank and put antlers on the head of a rabbit, and then told everyone that is was real!

The oldest known instance of taxidermy is from the 16th century. The rhinoceros is preserved in a museum in Italy, and the preservation techniques were good enough that it’s still in good condition today.

We’ve all heard the tales of the enormous fish someone caught or the 10-pointed buck they shot. When you use a taxidermist, you have the proof of your story right there on your wall so you can impress your friends for years to come.

Taxidermy was an ever growing business in the 1850s, and indeed by the year 1880 the first American competition was held with the 1st place award going to the taxidermist William Hornaday. His "A Fight in the Tree Tops," which depicted two male orangutans fighting, was so accurate that it inspired taxidermists far and wide to strive for a similar realism.

If you just caught the largest large-mouth bass of your life and you want to preserve it for all time, then get it to a taxidermist! However, there are a few things that you can do to increase the odds that the mounting will be favorable. First, never use a stringer or net, and don't let the fish flop around in your cooler.

Every species of animal exhibits such different characteristics that different mounting techniques and processes are used for creating the final product, and it takes the skills of a professional taxidermist to know the correct method to use.
