Full description and what we offer

Delaware & Hudson Taxidermy operates from a professional facility in Matamoras, Pennsylvania—15 minutes west of Middletown, NY and 45 minutes east of Scranton, PA. The shop is strategically located for easy access from New York City airports and handles shipments from anywhere in the country.

Anatomically Correct Mounts Built to Last

Every animal that comes through D&H gets measured carefully to preserve its actual size and character. All skins are fully tanned before mounting, creating odor-free displays that last for decades. The shop uses 100% American-made, competition-quality components and designs custom hardwood bases appropriate to each species.
