Taxidermy

Services & Process

Lee Moore Taxidermy likely handles the full range of game common to south Arkansas, starting with whitetail shoulder mounts and European skull mounts that suit hunters working the Drew County timber and agricultural land. Full body mounts for smaller animals like bobcat, fox, or turkey are also common requests in this region. Deer hides are tanned and fitted over anatomically correct forms, with ear positions, lip lines, and eye inserts selected to match the specific look of a south Arkansas whitetail. Antler mounting, where the shed or harvested rack is mounted on a finished panel or plaque, is a more affordable option many hunters choose when the cape isn't usable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do with a deer cape if I can't get to the taxidermist right away?
Salt the hide heavily on the flesh side as soon as it's removed, or freeze it if you have access to a freezer. Never leave a salted hide in the sun or a warm truck bed, since bacteria work fast in warm weather and can cause hair slippage that ruins the cape.
Does Lee Moore Taxidermy handle wild turkey mounts?
Turkey mounts are a popular request throughout south Arkansas given the strong turkey population in the Ouachita transition zone. Bring the bird in fresh or frozen with feathers intact, and avoid pulling or bending the tail fan before drop-off.
What's an antler mount, and is it cheaper than a shoulder mount?
An antler mount involves attaching the cleaned skull plate and antlers to a decorative panel or wooden shield without using the hide or a foam form. It's significantly less expensive than a full shoulder mount and works well when the cape was damaged or when you just want to display the rack.
How are deer hides preserved for a shoulder mount?
The hide is fleshed to remove fat and tissue, then either salted and dried or sent to a commercial tannery to be chemically preserved. A properly tanned cape won't rot, won't smell, and holds its shape and texture for decades when kept in a climate-controlled space.
Are there good hunting areas near Wilmar in Drew County?
Drew County has a strong mix of timber company land, agricultural fields, and river bottoms that produce quality whitetail and turkey. The Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge is nearby, and several timber companies in the area offer limited hunting access through license programs.
How do I know if a taxidermist's work is high quality before I commit?
Ask to see finished examples of their work in person, particularly mounts of the same species you're bringing in. Pay attention to the eyes, the ear butts, and the lip line on deer mounts since those are the spots where rushed or inexperienced work shows most clearly.
