Full description and what we offer
Brian Mower operates out of Lansdale, Pennsylvania, serving hunters across Montgomery, Chester, Bucks, Berks, and Philadelphia counties. He's been mounting trophies since 1999 and handles every project personally—caping, tanning, sculpting, finishing. Your animal never leaves the shop.
Mower tans all hides in-house himself. That's the difference between 3-6 months and 6-12 months. He sends text updates and photos the day he works on your mount so you see progress as it happens.

Mower provides a detailed field care guide covering everything from shot placement to freezing. Key points:
Field Care Rules 1. Never slit the throat—this damages the cape 2. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts only 3. Don't drag by the neck (stretches and damages hide) 4. Keep the animal cold (42°F or below) and bring it in immediately 5. Keep away from water (promotes hair slip) 6. Don't salt unless the animal is fully skinned and fleshed 7. Use a pin (not a knife hole) when placing your tag
For Shoulder Mounts (Gameheads) Mower prefers you bring the whole fresh animal so he can cape it himself—this ensures proper cuts, accurate neck measurements, and eliminates extra holes. He'll provide measurements if you must do it yourself.
For Full Body Mounts Special handling required. Leave genitals and anal opening attached. Include a measurement from tear duct to center of nose. Dorsal (back) incision preferred for life-size work.
Freezing Tips Wrap face, ears, and feet in wet towels, then plastic bags. Seal out air. Store in freezer near bottom. Wrapped properly, trophies stay mountable for months.
Bring your animal in whole and fresh when possible. Mower does the caping—you avoid mistakes and he gets accurate measurements.
