Fish Care Taxidermy

Hunting and Fishing is enjoyed by millions of people and can be quite rewarding not only in putting food on the table and in the freezer but also by the memories of good times shared with friends and family. After a day on the water some like to preserve the memory by getting a prized fish mounted. This isn’t always done for the "trophy" but rather the memory of the experience.

Don’t let your memories spoil! In order to achieve the best mount possible there are a few things you should do once you decide that it’s a keeper.

Taking a picture, if possible is best done as soon as the fish leaves the water. Fish lose their color in a short period of time when it leaves the water and pictures will show the original coloration of the fish. Perch, Walleye, Bass, etc. all have their specific markings and colors but these can fluctuate depending on the body of water it was taken from.

When dealing with fish you should try and keep the fish in a live well while out on the water, if this is not possible then get it on ice as soon as possible. To freeze a fish for the taxidermist you should wet a large towel, wring it out, and then proceed to wrap the fish up in it, smooth down the fins, keeping them tucked close to the body. The tail fin should lay smooth and flat. Wrap the entire towel covered fish in a plastic bag and tape closed, getting as much air out of the bag as possible. Lay it flat on the freezer shelf and let it freeze. This method will keep fish for a very long time in the freezer with out succumbing to freezer burn allowing you to find a reputable taxidermist to preserve the memory.


CBS' offbeat reporter Bill Geist attends the National Taxidermy Championship, which he calls "a beauty pageant for inanimate animals." As he puts it, "there's something creepy about stuffed animals and the men who mount them." I agree with you, Bill, even if that's not what you meant. Bill Geist can be seen regularly on CBS SUNDAY MORNING.

Taxidermy Tanning Proper Field Care

Tanning begins with the hunter which is probably you. If you fail to handle your animal properly it may result in a poor tan. Big game, small game, all must be handled with care right after the harvest (kill) if you intend to have something done with it, especially tanned .

The biggest problem with big game hunters is how they retrieve their game back to the vehicle and or camp. Do NOT put ropes around necks and drag ! That's a no, no. Solution ? ATV, game cart, tractor, a sled (if there is snow) and if all else fails you could wrap the down deer in a tarp and drag by the antlers. As far as elk and other big game in that range, naturally you would skin out on the kill sight. You don't want to pull the hair out by dragging it. Or worse yet, loosen it (the hair) so that when it is tanned it falls out.

Most hides can remain frozen for a year before any freezer burn problems may arise. Do not salt any hide that you intend to freeze ! All hides you intend to freeze should be properly fleshed before freezing .

Warm weather can also ruin a hide you intend to tan. Any and all K-9 should be skinned on the spot to cool down the hide. A coyotes pelt will start to decay within a hour, if the temperatures are too warm (above 32 degree’s) with the pelt remaining on the carcass. I have seen many green belly dogs in my time while skinning out a pelt. Green tainted hides means decay which means hair slippage. Hair slippage is a taxidermists worse nightmare.

Never place a skinned hide on concrete. Never place a skinned hide flesh down on the ground. Never ever place a skinned hide in the freezer, after salt was applied. Salt will prevent it from freezing.

If a hide gets muddy and dirty, rinse with cold water, hang and let it dry before freezing. Never ever place a skinned hide in direct sunlight. You can destroy a hide within 15 minutes if left in direct sunlight. Heat creates bacteria and bacteria creates hair slippage. Once you get hair slippage, you might as well trash the hide. It’s worthless.

The better you care for your hide from the start, the better chance you will have in achieving a good tanned hide.

If you do not succeed your first time around, don’t give up. Try again. If your in need of a hide and or pelt to tan, there are many un-tanned frozen or salted hides available here that are for sale.
