About Dixie Digital Taxidermy

Dixie Digital Taxidermy is based in Jemison, Alabama, a Chilton County town sitting along I-65 between Birmingham and Montgomery. That central location makes it accessible to hunters and collectors from a wide swath of central Alabama. The name suggests a studio that may use modern digital or replica methods alongside traditional techniques, which is increasingly common in the industry. Chilton County and the surrounding region offer good whitetail deer hunting and access to bass fishing on nearby reservoirs, giving local taxidermists a steady stream of trophies to work with throughout the year.

Services & Process

Digital or replica taxidermy uses high-quality fiberglass castings instead of the original skin, which is especially popular for fish mounts where color fading is a major concern over time. Traditional mounts for deer, turkey, and other game are also standard offerings, covering everything from shoulder mounts to full body displays. Bird taxidermy requires careful feather preservation and precise wire framing to achieve natural poses, whether it's a gobbler fan mount or a full standing turkey. Habitat bases and custom plaques can be added to almost any mount to make it a more complete display piece.

Service Area

Dixie Digital Taxidermy serves Jemison and the broader Chilton County area, with easy access for customers coming from Clanton, Thorsby, and Verbena. Its position along the I-65 corridor makes it a convenient stop for hunters and anglers traveling between Birmingham and Montgomery. Customers from Bibb and Coosa counties also have a reasonable drive to reach the studio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is digital or replica taxidermy and how is it different from traditional methods?
Replica taxidermy uses fiberglass castings painted to match the animal, rather than preserving the original skin or scales. For fish especially, this method produces mounts that won't fade, crack, or deteriorate over decades the way skin mounts sometimes do.
Do I need to bring the whole fish in for a replica mount?
For a fiberglass fish replica, you don't need to bring in the fish at all if you have accurate measurements and good photos. Take the length, girth, and weight at the time of the catch and photograph the fish from both sides in natural light before releasing or cleaning it.
Can you mount turkey fans and beards separately from a full bird mount?
Yes, fan and beard mounts are one of the most popular and affordable ways to preserve a gobbler. The tail fan, beard, and spurs are mounted together on a decorative panel and make a great display without the cost of a full bird mount.
What kinds of deer mounts are available beyond the standard shoulder mount?
Beyond the shoulder mount, you can opt for a pedestal mount that shows the deer from mid-chest up on a freestanding base, or a full body mount for a truly dramatic display. Skull and antler European mounts are also very popular for hunters who want a clean, modern look.
How do I find a taxidermist near Clanton or Chilton County?
Dixie Digital Taxidermy in Jemison is one of the closest options for Chilton County residents, located just a short drive from Clanton along the I-65 corridor. You can reach them at (512) 705-1955 to ask about current turnaround times and pricing.
Can taxidermists work with specimens from out of state or unusual species?
Most taxidermists can work with a wide variety of species, including game taken out of state, as long as the specimen is legally harvested and properly documented. It's always worth calling ahead if you have an unusual species so the shop can confirm they have the materials and forms needed.
