Here at Hess Taxidermy I use the most up-to-date mounting techniques. I do all my own tanning, so each clients piece is cared for in the best possible way. Every year I attend the Pennsylvania Taxidermy Association Convention and the Eastern Regional Taxidermy Convention. I attend many seminars to learn new techniques for mammals, birds, and fish. I have also entered mounts in competitions and have won numerous awards. I specialize mainly in whitetails and mammals. I also greatly enjoy mounting birds, because of all the unique and beautiful poses that can be done with them. I enjoy doing fish too, and very close attention is given to the painting aspect, which brings the fish "back to life".
