About 9Toes Taxidermy

9Toes Taxidermy operates out of Clarksdale, Missouri, a small community in DeKalb County in the northwest part of the state. The 816 area code ties the business to the greater Kansas City metro region, which means it can serve both rural hunting clientele and suburban sportsmen looking for quality taxidermy closer to home. Northwest Missouri is prime whitetail country, and having a taxidermist with a shop this size in a rural community often means more personal attention and direct communication than you'd get from a high-volume urban operation. The name alone suggests a shop with personality.

Services & Process

9Toes Taxidermy handles the taxidermy work that northwest Missouri hunters bring in after a productive season. Deer shoulder mounts are the most common request in this part of the state, involving form selection, hide preparation, and careful finishing to create a lifelike result. Bird mounts, including ducks and geese that move through Missouri along major flyways, are another likely specialty given the region's waterfowl hunting culture. Fish mounts from Missouri River tributaries and local ponds round out the typical workload for a shop serving this part of the state.

Service Area

9Toes Taxidermy serves Clarksdale and DeKalb County, Missouri, with reach into the broader northwest Missouri area. Its 816 area code also makes it accessible to hunters coming from the Kansas City metro who prefer a rural shop's pace and personal service. Communities like Cameron, Maysville, and Stewartsville are all within reasonable driving distance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does 9Toes Taxidermy handle waterfowl mounts?
Northwest Missouri sits along major migration routes, and duck and goose mounts are a natural fit for a shop in this area. Contact the shop at (816) 390-5759 to confirm current availability and discuss your specific bird.
Can I drop off a specimen during deer season without an appointment?
It's always best to call ahead, especially during peak fall hunting season when shops can get backed up quickly. A quick call ensures the taxidermist is ready to do a proper intake and give your specimen the attention it deserves.
How does proximity to the Kansas City area affect taxidermy pricing in rural Missouri?
Rural shops often have lower overhead than metro-area studios, which can mean more competitive pricing for the same level of craftsmanship. It's worth comparing quotes and looking at finished work samples before making a decision.
What information should I have ready when I call a taxidermist for the first time?
Know what animal you want mounted, how you want it displayed, and the approximate date of the harvest. Having this information ready helps the taxidermist give you an accurate quote and timeline from the start.
Can I get a mount done as a gift for someone else?
Yes, taxidermy mounts make meaningful gifts for hunters. You'd handle the drop-off and payment, and can arrange for the recipient to pick up the finished piece or have it delivered. Just make sure you have all the details about the animal at drop-off.
What happens if my hide has some damage from the field?
Minor cuts, bullet damage, or hide slippage can often be repaired during the taxidermy process. Significant damage may limit your mounting options, but a skilled taxidermist can assess the situation and recommend the best path forward.
