About Dirty Dixie Taxidermy

Dirty Dixie Taxidermy is based in Roxboro, North Carolina, the seat of Person County in the northern Piedmont. The region borders Virginia and sits within striking distance of some of the state's most productive deer and small game habitat, including the Hyco Lake area and the surrounding mixed hardwood and pine forests. The studio's name signals a no-frills, working-class approach to the craft, which often resonates with serious hunters who care more about quality work than fancy showroom trappings.

Services & Process

Studios like Dirty Dixie typically cover all the essentials: whitetail shoulder mounts, full body mounts for trophy animals, wild turkey mounts, and habitat displays for hunters who want their piece to tell a story. Skull cleaning using maceration or beetle colonies produces clean white skulls that many hunters prefer for European-style displays. Rug mounts are another option for black bear and coyote, which are taken regularly across Person County and the Virginia border counties.

Service Area

Dirty Dixie Taxidermy serves Roxboro and Person County, along with hunters and anglers from nearby Caswell County, Granville County, and the southern Virginia counties just across the state line. The studio's northern Piedmont location makes it a natural choice for customers throughout this corner of North Carolina.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of deer mounts are most popular in the Roxboro area?
Shoulder mounts are the most requested type for whitetail deer, typically featuring the head, neck, and front shoulders on a wall panel. European skull mounts have grown significantly in popularity over the last decade as a cleaner, more affordable alternative for hunters who want to display the rack.
Can you mount animals taken in Virginia if I'm hunting across the state line?
Yes, there's no restriction on bringing a legally harvested animal from Virginia to a North Carolina studio for mounting. Just make sure you're following Virginia's tagging and transport regulations before crossing the border with your game.
What is a habitat display and who typically orders one?
A habitat display incorporates natural elements like rocks, logs, leaves, and grasses around the mounted animal to recreate its environment. They're popular with collectors, museums, and hunters who want a more immersive piece, though they do cost more and require more wall or floor space.
How do I care for a finished mount after I take it home?
Keep mounted animals away from direct sunlight, which fades fur and feathers over time, and out of rooms with high humidity. Dust the mount gently with a soft brush and avoid using household cleaners or sprays anywhere near it.
Does the studio handle coyote rug mounts?
Coyote rug mounts are relatively affordable and common in the Piedmont, where coyotes are taken year-round. Bring the animal in fresh and the taxidermist can produce a flat rug mount with the head and paws intact, which makes a distinctive display piece.
What's the deposit typically required to leave a specimen?
Most small studios ask for 30 to 50 percent of the total cost upfront when you drop off your specimen. This covers initial materials and secures your spot in the work queue, with the remainder due when you pick up the finished mount.
