Pre-Hunt Information
Young’s Wildlife is a full service studio committed to providing you with the highest quality wildlife
artistry and customer service.
A large part of being able to provide our clients with a beautiful piece of artistry is making the proper
arrangements before the hunt to ensure your trophies are cared for properly. This applies whether you
are traveling aboard or perhaps are hunting right down the street.
For those traveling out of the country please contact Young’s Wildlife in advance so we can work with
you to make the proper arrangements. For expediting our international game we use MASS expediting
Inc. MASS is an expediting firm in Aspers, PA. It is directly affiliated with Keystone Fur Dressing, which
is a commercial tannery, whom we use to also prep and tan many of our trophies. Young’s Wildlife has
packets on hand from MASS, Inc. containing all proper paperwork needed which can be picked up at our
location or mailed directly to your home or business.
MASS takes care of pickup of all items at BWI airport. They then notify us and take care of any prep
work that needs done and proceed with tanning. This process works very efficiently, allowing us to put
your trophies into our rotation as soon as the skins are in our hands.
For those hunting inside the continental US, proper field care is very important. Depending on the time of
year and the climate in the hunt location it may be very important to care for your animal very quickly to
ensure the quality of your hides. The better your skins are cared for in the field, the better the end
product will be. Consult with Young’s Wildlife before your hunt for tips and suggestions on field care and
skinning techniques. Contact us here.
It is also advisable to consider how you are planning to have your trophies mounted; shoulder mounts,
pedestals, life-size, or rugs for example. There are different skinning techniques for different styles of
mounts, which can make for a better quality product at the end. Let Young’s Wildlife help you before the
hunt so we can provide you with a beautiful piece of our wildlife artistry.

Our studio hours are
Monday – Friday – 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
and by appointment on evenings and weekends.
At Young’s Wildlife it is our goal to make you a
satisfied customer from beginning to the time
your mount is complete. That means we will
cater to your needs, whether it be receiving
shipments from around the globe or shipping
your completed piece right to your door.
In some cases we will deliver and/or install in
your home or trophy room. If you are shipping
crates from another country, in most cases we
will have MASS Inc. take care of receiving your
shipment. If you are shipping from in the states
we will personally receive your crates from the
courier of your choice (UPS, FedEx, FedEx
Freight, etc.) In the case that imported
specimens must be treated at a USDA approved
facility we will forward the skins/horns to
Keystone Furdressing for prep.
Young’s Wildlife will also ship completed
mounts to any destination. Naturally there are
crating and shipping charges incurred, but we do
offer this service. Young’s Wildlife also offers
local delivery service for a minimal fee. When
shipping animals in the states they must first be
either salted and dried or frozen. When shipping
frozen specimens always ship minimum 2 day
air and always on a Monday or Tuesday to allow
a margin for error. Package items appropriately
and securely and please including licensing and
tag information.
We are licensed by the state of Maryland and
must provide licensing and tag verification for the
Department of Natural Resources. Also please
notify Young’s Wildlife before shipping
specimens so we are aware when shipments
will be arriving. If you will be shipping large
antlers that must be split ask the outfitter to
notch cut the skull plate to ensure a correct fit.
It is also advisable to provide Young’s Wildlife
with tracking information so we can check the
status of a shipment should it not arrive on time.
At Young’s Wildlife we care as much about your
trophies as you and we will see to it that they
arrive at their destination in a safe, secure timely
manner.
