Island Outfitters Taxidermy

They handle big game, small game, birds, fish, exotics, and rugs, as well as European mounts and remounts.

Available mount styles include shoulder mounts, life-size mounts, pedestal-style work, European mounts, rugs, fish reproductions, and custom habitat displays.

Owner Joe Privitera has guided hunts on Long Island for over 20 years and brings 28+ years of construction experience to designing and building custom trophy rooms.

He hand-sculpts and designs each mount as if it were his own, aiming for detailed, realistic pieces that preserve your hunting memories and are backed by a stated 100% satisfaction guarantee.

They publish detailed price lists by species and pose, with examples such as a whitetail shoulder mount around $750, bird mounts from about $350–$500 each, fish reproductions at $25 per linear inch, rugs priced per linear foot, and many large life-size mounts individually priced, plus a 50% deposit on most work.

They do not list standard turnaround times and instead encourage you to call to discuss project details, scheduling, and current workload on an individual basis.

Additional services include custom trophy rooms, habitat bases and dioramas, European mounts, hide tanning and rugging, camo dipping, freeze-dry work, antler repair, custom plaques and bases, deer hoof gun racks, butchering and vacuum sealing, in-home mount cleaning, sale and rental of mounts, and guided waterfowl hunts.
