Services & Process

Hinton Tab handles the core taxidermy services most in demand across southeast Mississippi, including whitetail deer shoulder mounts built with attention to accurate cape preparation, proper hide stretching, and careful glass eye placement that brings the mount to life. Full body mounts for deer and smaller game require detailed muscle shaping on the form to look natural rather than stiff. With the Pascagoula River system close by, fish mounts are a steady part of the work, covering bass, catfish, and occasionally gar or bowfin for the more adventurous angler. Habitat display work combines mount craftsmanship with natural materials to create a full scene rather than just a single animal.

Service Area

Hinton Tab Taxidermy serves Lucedale and the broader George County area, reaching customers in Leakesville, Agricola, and surrounding communities. Southeast Mississippi hunters and anglers from both George and Greene counties rely on local shops for quality work close to home. The location also draws customers from the Mobile, Alabama corridor looking for trusted taxidermists on the Mississippi side.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a habitat display different from a standard mount?
A habitat display incorporates natural elements like driftwood, rocks, grasses, or painted backdrops to create a scene around the mounted animal. It takes more time and materials but produces a much more dramatic finished piece.
Do taxidermists in Lucedale work with alligator hides?
Alligator work does come through shops in southeast Mississippi given legal hunting opportunities in the region. Call ahead to confirm whether the shop is set up for full-body gator mounts or rug-style hides.
Can I have a mount shipped to me if I can't pick it up in person?
Some taxidermists offer shipping for completed mounts, though it adds cost and requires careful packaging. Discuss this upfront when you drop off your specimen so the taxidermist can plan for it.
How do I know if my deer cape is too damaged to mount?
Taxidermists assess capes for slippage, cuts near the face, and overall hide condition at drop-off. Minor damage can often be repaired, but severely slipped or dried capes may not be salvageable for a full shoulder mount.
Are there hunting regulations about transporting trophies in Mississippi?
Mississippi requires harvest tags to stay attached to game during transport, and certain species have additional documentation requirements. Check with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks to make sure you're compliant before drop-off.
Does Hinton Tab Taxidermy do commercial or museum-quality work?
Many independent taxidermists take on institutional or commercial work alongside individual customers. Call (601) 947-6542 directly to ask about larger or specialized projects that might be outside standard hunting trophy work.
