About JONES TAXIDERMY

Jones Taxidermy is based in Hartsville, Tennessee, the county seat of Trousdale County and a town surrounded by productive farmland and wooded river bottoms that draw serious deer hunters every fall. It's a small community where a business's reputation is built on real results, not advertising. Hunters in this part of Middle Tennessee have access to quality whitetail habitat, and they need a local taxidermist who can do justice to the bucks they work hard to harvest. Jones Taxidermy fills that role for the Hartsville area.

Services & Process

Jones Taxidermy handles the taxidermy needs that matter most to hunters in Trousdale and surrounding counties. Whitetail shoulder mounts are a primary service, requiring skilled hide preparation, form fitting, and detailed finish work on eyes, nose, and ears. Fish mounts are another common request, whether you're preserving a trophy bass from the Cumberland River or a prized catfish. Antler mounting and European skull mounts offer more affordable options for hunters who want a clean display without the full mount price tag.

Service Area

Jones Taxidermy serves hunters and anglers in Hartsville and across Trousdale County. Customers from nearby Gallatin, Carthage, and other communities in the upper Cumberland region also make the drive for local taxidermy work. The studio sits within easy reach of some of Tennessee's most productive hunting ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a best time of year to drop off my deer for mounting?
Earlier in the season is always better if you can manage it. Studios book up fast after Tennessee's November gun opener, so hunters who drop off in September or October during archery season often get shorter wait times.
Can you mount fish caught in the Cumberland River?
Absolutely, freshwater fish mounts are a common service for anglers in this part of Tennessee. The taxidermist will need accurate measurements and good photos if you plan to release the fish and have a reproduction made instead of using the actual skin.
How much does a basic whitetail shoulder mount cost in this area?
Prices vary by studio and the complexity of the work, but shoulder mounts in Middle Tennessee typically range from $400 to $700 or more. It's worth calling ahead to get a specific quote rather than assuming based on what a friend paid elsewhere.
Do I need a license or any paperwork to get a deer mounted?
In Tennessee, you should have a valid hunting license and your deer harvest recorded through the state's tagging system. The taxidermist may ask to see documentation, and it's your responsibility to have legally harvested the animal.
What causes a mount to deteriorate over time?
Humidity, direct sunlight, and dust are the main culprits. Keeping a mount in a climate-controlled room away from windows and cleaning it gently with a soft brush will significantly extend its life and keep colors looking fresh.
Can a taxidermist repair an old mount that's falling apart?
Many taxidermists offer repair work on existing mounts, including rehydrating dried hides, replacing damaged eyes, and touching up paint or finish. Bring the piece in for an assessment to find out what's feasible and what it would cost.
