About CreekBed Taxidermy

CreekBed Taxidermy operates out of Bloomingdale, Georgia, a small community just west of Savannah in Chatham County. The coastal plain of southeast Georgia offers a distinctly different hunting and fishing culture than the mountains to the north. Deer hunting in the Savannah area, saltwater and freshwater fishing, and waterfowl hunting on coastal marshes all generate steady demand for skilled taxidermists. The studio's name hints at a connection to the lowland creek and marsh environment that defines this part of the state.

Services & Process

In coastal Georgia, fish mounting takes on special significance, with species like redfish, flounder, and largemouth bass caught in and around the Savannah area deserving permanent display. Duck and other waterfowl mounts are also a major part of the business here, given the rich migratory bird habitat along the Georgia coast. Whitetail deer shoulder mounts remain the most common request, as Chatham and surrounding counties produce solid deer numbers on both private land and public WMA tracts. Rug mounts for deer or bear hides are another option for customers who want something different.

Service Area

CreekBed Taxidermy serves Bloomingdale and the greater Savannah metro area, including Pooler, Garden City, and customers from Effingham and Bryan counties. Hunters and anglers from the surrounding coastal plain regularly make the short drive to drop off their specimens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount saltwater fish like redfish or flounder?
Yes, saltwater species are very much in the wheelhouse of taxidermists near Savannah, where coastal fishing is a way of life. Bring the fish in fresh or on ice as soon as possible after the catch, and ask whether the studio offers skin mounts or high-quality fiberglass replicas.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a replica mount for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual fish skin stretched over a form, while a replica is a fiberglass reproduction painted to match your specific catch. Replicas last longer and don't shrink or fade over time, making them a popular choice for a trophy fish you plan to display for decades.
Do you handle duck and waterfowl mounts?
Waterfowl mounts are common in coastal Georgia, where teal, wood duck, and other migratory birds are harvested each fall. A well-done duck mount captures the brilliant feather detail that makes these birds so striking, and a skilled taxidermist can pose them in a lifelike feeding or landing position.
How quickly do I need to get my specimen in during summer?
In Savannah's heat and humidity, you really need to get your specimen to the studio or into a freezer within a few hours of harvest to prevent hair slippage and skin spoilage. This is especially true for deer and large mammals, but fish also deteriorate quickly in warm weather.
Can you create a habitat display with coastal marsh elements?
Many taxidermists in coastal Georgia can incorporate local elements like driftwood, marsh grass, and Spanish moss into habitat displays that tell a story about where the animal was taken. Ask specifically about habitat work when you drop off your specimen to see what the studio offers.
Are there any regulations I should know about before bringing in a mount?
Georgia requires proper tagging and licensing documentation for game animals, and there are federal protections on migratory birds that require you to have the appropriate stamp and license. Your taxidermist should be familiar with these rules, but it's your responsibility to have your documentation in order at drop-off.
