About CAS Taxidermy Studio

CAS Taxidermy Studio operates out of Springfield, Missouri, the largest city in the Ozarks and a natural gathering point for hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts from across southwest Missouri. Springfield sits close to Table Rock Lake, Bull Shoals, and some of the best whitetail country in the state, which means the local taxidermy market sees a wide variety of species come through the door each year. CAS brings a studio-level approach to the craft, serving both individual sportsmen and clients with larger display or collection needs.

Services & Process

CAS Taxidermy Studio offers a broad range of mounting services suited to Springfield's diverse outdoor community. Deer and turkey work is common given the surrounding Ozark terrain, and the studio handles everything from basic shoulder mounts to full body poses. Fish mounts from the nearby lakes, including bass and trophy trout, are done using skin or reproduction techniques depending on the species and condition. The studio also takes on bird mounts, which require especially delicate feather and skin preparation to look natural.

Service Area

CAS Taxidermy Studio serves Springfield and the wider Greene County area, along with clients from Christian, Webster, and Polk counties who make the drive into Springfield for quality work. The studio's central location in the Ozarks makes it accessible to hunters and anglers from a broad stretch of southwest Missouri.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CAS Taxidermy Studio handle turkey mounts?
Turkey mounts are a popular request in the Ozarks, and the studio handles full body mounts as well as fan and beard displays. The fan mount is a cost-effective option that showcases the tail feathers without requiring the full bird, which some customers prefer for smaller wall spaces.
Can I get a mount done of a fish I caught at Table Rock Lake?
Absolutely. Bass, walleye, and other common Ozark lake species make great mounts, and the studio can work from the actual fish or from measurements and photos if you plan to release it. Reproduction mounts have improved dramatically in quality and are a popular choice for catch-and-release anglers.
How much does a deer shoulder mount cost in Springfield?
Pricing for a deer shoulder mount in the Springfield area typically runs between $400 and $700 depending on the pose, form quality, and any additional detail work requested. It's best to call the studio directly for a current quote since pricing can shift based on supply costs and workload.
Does the studio work with educational institutions or museums in the Springfield area?
Yes, taxidermy studios like CAS often supply specimens to schools, nature centers, and small museums that need display-quality wildlife pieces. These projects typically involve more planning around habitat displays and accurate species representation, which requires close communication with the institution.
How should I store my bird if I can't bring it in right away?
Wrap the bird carefully in a plastic bag without rinsing it or pulling out any feathers, then freeze it as soon as possible. Freezing preserves the feathers and skin far better than refrigeration for anything beyond a day or two.
Can I request a specific pose for my deer mount?
Yes, pose selection is one of the first conversations you'll have with the studio. Options typically include straight ahead, turning, alert, and semi-sneak poses, and the taxidermist can show you examples to help you decide what fits your space and style best.
