About Bud Hull Taxidermy

Bud Hull Taxidermy serves hunters and collectors in Rossville, Georgia, a city sitting right along the Tennessee border in Walker County.

Local taxidermists here understand the regional wildlife and the pride that comes with a hard-earned trophy. Bud Hull Taxidermy offers a personal, small-studio experience that larger commercial operations simply can't match.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a whitetail deer shoulder mount take?
Most shoulder mounts take anywhere from 3 to 8 months depending on the studio's current workload, especially after peak deer season in the fall. It's always best to ask for a specific estimate at drop-off so you're not surprised by the wait.
What should I do with my deer before bringing it in?
Keep the cape and carcass as cool as possible and get it to the taxidermist within 24 to 48 hours of the harvest. If you can't drop it off right away, put it in a plastic bag and freeze it to prevent spoilage or hair slippage.
How much does a basic skull cleaning cost?
Skull cleaning prices vary, but a whitetail deer skull typically runs between $50 and $150 depending on the method used and any optional whitening. It's one of the most affordable ways to preserve a trophy from a good harvest.
Can I bring in a fish for mounting?
Yes, fish mounts are a standard service for most taxidermists in the area, and Chickamauga Lake nearby produces some trophy-sized bass and crappie worth preserving. Bring the fish in fresh or frozen, and ask whether the studio offers skin mounts or reproduction replicas.
Do taxidermists in Rossville work on turkey mounts?
Turkey work is very common in this part of Georgia, including fan mounts, beard and spur plaques, and full body turkey mounts. Spring turkey season keeps local studios busy, so it's smart to call ahead and check availability before the season opens.
Is a deposit required when I drop off my specimen?
Most taxidermists require a deposit of 30 to 50 percent of the total cost at drop-off to cover materials and hold your place in the queue. The remaining balance is usually due when the finished piece is ready for pickup.
