About Firehouse Bowfishing & Outdoors

Firehouse Bowfishing and Outdoors in Rogersville, Missouri is one of the more unique stops in the Ozarks, combining boat charters, guided bowfishing trips, and taxidermy services under one roof. Rogersville sits in Webster County, just east of Springfield, where Table Rock Lake and the Finley River draw outdoor enthusiasts year-round.

That kind of end-to-end service is rare and genuinely useful for serious bowfishers.

Services & Process

The taxidermy side of Firehouse handles fish mounts, which makes sense given the shop's focus on bowfishing. Gar, carp, and buffalo fish are common bowfishing targets in Missouri's lakes and rivers, and mounting an unusually large specimen is a natural next step after a successful trip. The shop also connects its charter clients with mounting services for conventional fishing catches, including bass and catfish. Beyond fish, the taxidermy operation likely covers deer and turkey mounts for area hunters who already use the shop for outdoor services.

Service Area

Firehouse Bowfishing and Outdoors serves Rogersville and Webster County, with charter operations extending across the Springfield metro area and nearby waterways including the Finley River and James River. Customers from Christian, Greene, and Douglas counties come in for both the guided trips and the taxidermy services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount a bowfishing catch like a gar or carp?
Yes, and it's more common than people think. Unusually large gar and carp make striking display pieces, especially when mounted in a dynamic pose. The key is handling the fish properly immediately after the shot so the skin is in good condition.
Do you offer guided bowfishing trips as well as taxidermy?
Firehouse Bowfishing and Outdoors offers both charter trips and taxidermy services, which makes them a convenient one-stop option. You can book a trip, have a great night on the water, and arrange a mount for a trophy catch all in one place.
What bodies of water do you run charters on near Rogersville?
The shop operates on waterways in and around the Springfield and Webster County area, including area rivers and lakes accessible from the Rogersville corridor. Contact the shop directly to ask about current charter locations and availability by season.
Is bowfishing for carp and gar legal in Missouri?
Yes, bowfishing for rough fish like common carp, grass carp, and longnose gar is legal in Missouri and doesn't require a special license beyond a standard fishing permit. The shop can answer any specific questions about local regulations during the booking process.
How do I preserve a fish for mounting after a bowfishing trip?
Get the fish out of direct sun and into ice as quickly as possible, and avoid letting it dry out before you can drop it off. If you're on an overnight trip, freeze the fish whole and bring it in still frozen to preserve the fins and skin.
Do you also mount deer and turkey for hunters in the Rogersville area?
Most shops offering taxidermy in Webster County handle the full range of common Missouri game, including whitetail deer and wild turkey. Call the shop directly to confirm current services and get a quote for the specific mount you're interested in.
