about

“My road to taxidermy really started years ago, just being fascinated with the art of taxidermy. I’m an avid hunter, and waiting 2-3 years to get a mount back was unacceptable.

I was able to finish taxidermy school here in Arizona. I had a great time and learned new methods during my schooling. Behind every good taxidermist is a professional teacher. I look forward to the future where I am able to bring your trophy to life with the skills I’ve mastered.” – Wayne Moss

To put it briefly, taxidermy it is the art of mounting and preserving your animal for display. The term “taxi” means “to move”, and the term “dermy” means “skin.” Mounted Memories Taxidermy here in Apache Junction, AZ can perform taxidermy on all type of vertebrate species of animals, such as amphibians, reptiles, fish, birds, and mammals.

The process is just like skinning a chicken prior to cooking. This can be done without opening the body cavity, so we never see the internal organs or blood. The skin is then tanned and placed on a polyurethane form. Epoxy and clay are used to enhance features and cover the open areas like the mouth cavity.
