Lifelike Taxidermy

They work on big game, small game, birds, fish, reptiles, and skulls, as well as antlers and other trophy parts for display.

Available mount styles include shoulder and game-head mounts, full-body mounts, rugs, European-style skull work, antler and fan panels, and skin-mounted fish.

Lifelike Taxidermy has operated at the same Franklin, Pennsylvania location since 1989, with long-running experience in tanning, freeze-drying, beetle cleaning, and hydrographic dipping.

They emphasize lifelike, natural poses and avoid artificial noses, lips, fish heads, turkey heads, and fiberglass fish unless you specifically request them.

They publish a detailed price list for game heads, rugs, small mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, antlers, skulls, and foot mounts, offer wholesale pricing on core services by request, and accept major credit cards, checks, and cash with payment plans available.

Reviews describe turnaround as on time or faster than other shops, with work often completed within the timeframe quoted at drop-off.

They also provide in-house hydrographic (camo) dipping on firearms, skulls, and other items, habitat and nature bases, freeze-dry work, beetle cleaning only, camo or whitening of skulls, and cleaning of existing mounts.
