Services & Process

Bill's Taxidermy Studio serves the full spectrum of wildlife that Houma-area hunters and anglers pursue. Redfish, speckled trout, and flounder are prized catches in the coastal marshes, and fish mounts capture the memory of a great day on the water. Deer mounts from the surrounding parishes are a staple throughout fall and winter. Waterfowl work is also relevant here, given that the Atchafalaya Basin and coastal marshes are premier duck hunting territory that draws serious hunters from across the country.

Service Area

Bill's Taxidermy Studio serves Houma and Terrebonne Parish, including communities like Thibodaux, Gray, and Schriever in nearby Lafourche Parish. The studio is a convenient option for sportsmen working the coastal marshes south of Houma or hunting the agricultural land north of the city. Clients from the bayou communities throughout the region make the trip to Houma regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount alligators caught in Louisiana?
Alligator mounts are possible and are a unique trophy specific to coastal Louisiana. You'll need a valid alligator tag and harvest documentation. Full body gator mounts are large and involved projects, so discuss sizing and display options before committing.
What coastal fish species are most commonly mounted in the Houma area?
Redfish and speckled trout are the most popular requests, followed by flounder and large sheepshead. Replica mounts are recommended for saltwater fish since the skin is harder to work with than freshwater species, and the colors fade quickly after death.
How do I transport a large fish to the studio without damaging it?
Wet the fish thoroughly, wrap it tightly in a plastic bag to preserve the slime coat and fins, and freeze it as flat as possible. For very large fish, a cooler packed with ice is fine for same-day transport, but freezing is better if there's any delay.
Do you offer duck mounts for Louisiana species like teal and pintail?
Yes, teal, pintail, widgeon, and other Louisiana ducks are standard work for a Houma taxidermist. Freeze your bird immediately after the hunt with the wings tucked naturally against the body, and it will arrive in good shape for mounting.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a replica for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual fish skin stretched over a form, while a replica is cast from fiberglass and painted by hand. Replicas last longer, hold color better, and let you release your fish alive. For trophy-sized fish especially, many taxidermists now recommend going replica.
How do I know if a taxidermist's work is good quality before committing?
Ask to see photos of completed work, specifically species similar to what you're bringing in. Look for natural eye placement, tight seams, accurate color, and lifelike posing. If a studio can't show you examples of their work, that's worth noting.
