Services & Process

Chipmunks Taxidermy handles the kind of varied workload you'd expect from a studio serving a large metro area. Whitetail shoulder mounts are the bread and butter, but the shop also takes on full body mounts for smaller mammals, which require careful attention to muscle definition and natural posing. Fish work is popular given the proximity to the Arkansas River and central Arkansas reservoirs like Maumelle and Winona. Bird mounts for turkey, ducks, and other game birds are common seasonal requests. Customers can also inquire about antler mounting and decorative display options for trophy hardware from past seasons.

Service Area

Chipmunks Taxidermy serves North Little Rock and the surrounding metro communities, including Little Rock, Maumelle, Jacksonville, and Sherwood. Customers from Lonoke and Faulkner counties regularly make the trip given the shop's easy access from I-40 and the metro highway network. It's one of the more centrally located taxidermy options in central Arkansas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Chipmunks Taxidermy handle mounts for educational institutions or nature centers?
Many taxidermists in urban areas like North Little Rock do take on work for schools, museums, and nature centers, which often involves habitat displays or mounted specimens for classroom use. It's best to call ahead and describe the project so the studio can confirm they handle that type of work.
What fish species are commonly mounted in central Arkansas?
Largemouth bass, striped bass, and catfish are among the most frequently mounted fish from central Arkansas waters, including Lake Maumelle and the Arkansas River. Crappie and bream are less common but can be done, and a good photograph at the time of catch helps with color matching.
How do I choose the right form or pose for my deer mount?
Form selection depends on the size of the rack, the angle you want, and where you plan to hang the mount. Your taxidermist can walk you through catalogs of available forms and help you pick one that fits the natural proportions of your specific deer.
Is it possible to get a mount done for a small mammal like a squirrel or fox?
Yes, small mammal mounts are absolutely possible, though they require just as much skill as larger trophy work. Full body poses for foxes, coyotes, and squirrels are popular among collectors and hunters who want to preserve an interesting or memorable animal.
What's the best way to transport a bird to the taxidermist without damaging the feathers?
Slide the bird headfirst into a nylon stocking or wrap it loosely in paper to protect the feathers, then place it in a sealed bag. Freezing is fine if you can't get to the shop the same day, but avoid thawing and refreezing, which can loosen feathers.
Do taxidermists in North Little Rock work on antler mounting without a full shoulder mount?
Antler-only mounts are a popular and affordable option for hunters who want to display the rack without a full mount. Options include simple panel mounts, European skull mounts, and decorative antler plaques, and a taxidermist can help you find the style that fits your space.
