Summer 2020: After relocation to Farmingdale and upgrading to an actual shop 11x22 (Half my garage) with cold storage, volume has increased to include a small wholesale contract. Process has further improved with maceration and dedicated degreasing setups to turn out higher volume while maintaining the highest quality. Even more expansion is in the works for next year specifically to increase capacity for larger moose, and permanent heating for future expansion into mammals pending license approval.

2017: My name is Emerson Dolby, a proud new resident of the state of Maine. I’ve had a passion for nature and the outdoors since I could walk. I began hunting in Connecticut at the age of 12, and shortly thereafter I was given the opportunity to work in a taxidermy studio. I started out simply sweeping floors and sanding forms for mounting. It wasn’t until I got my hands on my first antler mount that really set a fire to this passion.

I began working on small game animals and birds; from fleshing to airbrushing, I wanted to learn it all. Only in the last few years have I felt justifiable to preform work for others. Through my network of friends and family, I have become to go-to guy for European/antler mounts. Every year I am continuing my virtually self-taught education to learn more and more about the industry. I hope you will continue to follow my passion and journey in becoming an expert taxidermist for all animal species.
