Twisted Racks not only focuses on preserving your trophies the best way possible but also focuses on being fiscally responsible to the customers. With taxidermy prices rising through the roof, a shoulder mount could cost upwards of $1000. For some, that cost is not worth it. Twisted Racks makes every effort to keep costs down. In an effort to keep kids in the great sport of hunting, we offer a discount of 50% to youth hunters who harvest their first deer. Please stop by our showroom and see the quality of work that we produce.
Frequently Asked Questions
There really isn’t a set amount of time. Cleaning the skull takes a few days. The degreasing process, which is the most important part, depends on the animal that is harvested. Bear, hogs, and some smaller mammals have a lot of grease in the bone, and this can take anywhere from 2 months to a year to remove.
A LOT! The beetles are constantly reproducing and expanding. I feed them all summer to keep them growing.
To some It does. I do not think so, but each person has a different tolerance of smells.
This is all in the degreasing step. I have found it impossible to do this process quickly. If not done right, the oils and grease will leach out over time and make the skull duller. We have a whiteness guarantee. If a skull does not stay white, we will whiten it again for free.
