Joseph Phariss of Wildlife ReCreation Taxidermy Studio breaks down how he hunts 1v1—wind, beds, rub lines, game camera patterns—and why big, old deer almost never stroll into feed. That same discipline shows up at the bench: he tans in-house, flesh-thins hides until a flashlight glows through the nose and lips, turns ears and nose pads inside out, and sets glass eyes with precise lid contact and correct pupil rotation. He installs a realistic septum as standard, adds or restores antler character with epoxy and stain when needed, and matches color with airbrush nuance so the final piece reads as alive from across the room and under close inspection.

We get practical too: how to cape with extra length so pedestal wall mounts stay an option; why clean, client-friendly shops matter; and how communication—photo updates at each step—builds trust. Joseph shares an elk antler repair plan using pinned structure, re-sculpted girth, and careful color blending, then goes beyond the fix to clean, touch up, and present the mount as a complete showcase. From whiskey-barrel pedestals and marble bases to corner placements and euro mounts with creative finishes, he designs for the room, not just the rack, so every trophy fits a home and tells a story.

If you care about quality taxidermy, hunting strategy, and honest timelines, this conversation is for you. Tap play to learn what separates “mounted” from “lifelike,” hear Joseph’s tips for protecting capes and caring for mounts, and see why service-first shops earn lifelong customers.
