Deer Processing

Taxidermy's been around since ancient Egypt, but it didn't become a real craft until the 18th and 19th centuries. What started as upholsterers sewing animal skins and stuffing them with rags evolved into actual mounting techniques. Elkins Taxidermy understands this history and applies modern precision to the work.

Elkins offers two core services:

• •Taxidermy mounts - Wildlife trophies and artistic mounts created with realistic detail
• •Deer processing - Full dressing and meat processing service

Creating museum-quality mounts requires more than tools and forms. It takes an understanding of how wildlife actually lives, breathes, and moves. Elkins takes a personal, professional approach with sportsmen who want their hunt preserved as a lasting memory—not just another trophy on the wall, but a work of art.

They handle meat processing for clients across three Indiana counties:

Sanitary processing and proper precautions are standard practice.
