Frequently Asked Questions

Why does CJ's have a five-star rating?
While based on one review, a perfect rating reflects a customer who was satisfied enough to take the time to leave feedback, which is a good sign in a service industry where many satisfied customers never review at all. The best way to gauge quality is to call, ask to see examples of their work, and talk to local hunters who've used them.
Can I get a turkey mount done after spring season in northwest Arkansas?
Turkey mounts are a popular request after spring gobbler season in the Ozarks, and a local taxidermist like CJ's is well positioned to handle them. Options range from tail fan displays to full-body strutting mounts, with prices varying significantly based on the style you choose.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a reproduction mount for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual fish's skin stretched over a form, while a reproduction is a fiberglass replica painted to match your fish that you then release back into the water. Reproductions have become increasingly popular because they're more durable and allow catch-and-release anglers to still have a display piece.
How do I find a taxidermist I can trust with an important trophy?
Ask to see photos of completed work, especially pieces similar to what you're having done. Word of mouth from other local hunters is also one of the most reliable ways to find a taxidermist who does quality, consistent work in your area.
Does the taxidermist need the whole animal or just the cape?
For a shoulder mount, the taxidermist typically only needs the cape, which is the hide from the front portion of the animal, along with the skull plate and antlers if it's a deer. Your taxidermist can walk you through exactly how to cape the animal in the field to avoid damaging usable hide.
Is taxidermy in Bella Vista more expensive because of the Bentonville area market?
Pricing for taxidermy in northwest Arkansas is generally in line with the rest of the state, though individual shops set their own rates based on their overhead and specialization. Calling CJ's directly at (479) 531-6038 is the best way to get current, accurate pricing for your specific project.
