What is hair slippage?

The most dreaded word. It occurs when bacteria develop due to improper field care of your trophy. Microorganisms grow in the hair follicle and eventually break down the connective tissue causing the hair to “slip” or fall out.

How should I clean my mount?
Regular cleaning ensures longevity and keeps you mount looking as good as the day it was brought home. Avoid heavy cleaners or furniture polish. Regular use of a simple feather duster goes a long way..
Do you restore or repair old mounts?

We offer restoration work on a case-by-case basis. For options, quotes, and more information contact us. We will be able to evaluate your mount and come up with a plan of action.
