Policies and FAQ

All wildlife articles brought to EZ Beetles, LLC must have been obtained or harvested in a legal and lawful manner. They must have appropriate tags or permits to be accepted. Customers need to bring the following information:

Provide the kind and number of each article of wildlife.

The name and residence of the owner of each wildlife article.

If shipping, the name and shipping address of the recipient, as well as all articles of wildlife shipped.

The above information will be kept for as long as the wildlife articles remain in our possession or for at least five years, whichever is longer.

There will be zero exceptions. If you do not have the above information, we will not take the articles of wildlife.
Upon dropping off the article(s) of wildlife, a 50% non-refundable deposit is due before work begins. The remaining balance must be paid before releasing the mount(s). The customer must pay the balance and pick up the mount(s) within 30 days of completion. If not picked up, a $5.00 per day, per mount, storage fee will be charged after the 30-day grace period. After 90 days, the mount(s) will be considered abandoned and become the property of EZ Beetles, LLC, regardless of the deposit paid.
EZ Beetles, LLC takes the utmost care in handling the articles of wildlife. However, in the unlikely event that the articles of wildlife are lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed by fire, flooding, vandalism, act of God, or any other circumstances, within or beyond EZ Beetles, LLC’s control, EZ Beetles, LLC’s liability is limited to payments received.
Per Montana's CWD management law, "if the animal is transported for taxidermy or meat processing, the brain and spinal tissue must be bagged and disposed of in a Class II landfill."

We take great care to ensure that our work meets the highest quality standards; for this reason, we cannot commit to a specific completion date. However, we believe explaining the reasons behind our approach is essential as our turnaround times can take between 3-8 months.

Have you ever noticed yellowing or dark brown/black spots on mounts when you receive them or shortly afterward? Before launching EZ Beetles, we conducted thorough research on various methods to prevent this issue and achieve lasting results. Consequently, we implemented a specialized process that requires significant time and attention—often taking several weeks—since certain types of mounts need more extensive care.

In the images below, you will see a batch of some of our mounts currently in our soaking process, along with two examples of spots that can occur during the processing. It is important not to rush through this step, as these spots will require additional time to eliminate and prevent them from recurring. While discoloration can develop over time due to various factors, our goal is to ensure that your European mount remains pristine for as long as possible once it reaches you.

Additionally, our process is designed to be gentler on the mounts' bone structure, minimizing the risk of breakdowns. This careful handling helps preserve the mounts' integrity and appearance.

We are committed to providing the whitest and best-finished pieces that showcase our dedication to quality above all else. We understand that our process may take longer than some taxidermists, but we believe the patience and care we put into our work will be worth the wait!
