Services & Process

On the taxidermy side, this Lanett provider handles the trophy preservation work that hunters and anglers in the Chattahoochee Valley need throughout the year. Deer shoulder mounts and European skull mounts are common requests, particularly after Alabama's fall and winter deer seasons. Fish mounts from West Point Lake catches are another natural fit given the lake's proximity and reputation for largemouth bass and crappie. Antler mounting and basic small game work are also typical services for local customers who want clean, lasting displays of their harvests.

Service Area

This studio serves Lanett and the surrounding Chambers County area, along with customers from West Point and LaGrange, Georgia just across the state line. The location makes it easily accessible for hunters and anglers from both the Alabama and Georgia sides of the Chattahoochee Valley. West Point Lake fishing customers in particular find this a convenient local option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring in a fish caught from West Point Lake for a mount?
Absolutely. West Point Lake produces excellent largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish, and a quality fish mount is a great way to commemorate a personal best or trophy catch. You can either keep the fish for a skin mount or take measurements and photos for a replica, which is increasingly popular with catch-and-release anglers.
Does it matter that Lanett is in Alabama if I'm a Georgia hunter bringing in a Georgia deer?
The taxidermy process itself is the same regardless of where the animal was harvested. Just make sure you have your Georgia hunting license and any required documentation for your harvest. The taxidermist can advise you if there are any specific questions about transport across the state line.
What's a rug mount, and is it a good option for a black bear?
A rug mount involves tanning and finishing the hide with the head either flat or in an open-mouth pose, then mounting it on a felt-backed pad for display on the floor or wall. It's a popular choice for bears, deer, and large cats, and tends to cost less than a full body mount while still making a dramatic display.
How do I know if my deer cape is still good when I bring it in?
A taxidermist will check for signs of slippage, which is when the hair begins to separate from the skin due to heat or decomposition. If you kept the cape cool and got it in quickly, it's usually fine. When in doubt, freeze it and let the taxidermist make the assessment at drop-off.
Can a taxidermist create a habitat display for a museum or school?
Yes, habitat displays combine mounted animals with naturalistic backgrounds, plants, and terrain features to create an educational scene. These are commonly requested by museums, nature centers, and schools. They require more planning and budget than a standard wall mount, so it's best to call and discuss the scope of the project early.
Is taxidermy work seasonal, or can I bring in a specimen any time of year?
You can call any time of year, but most taxidermists get flooded with drop-offs during and right after deer season, which runs through the fall and winter in Alabama. If you have a fish or bird mount to bring in during the spring or summer, you'll likely get a faster turnaround since the studio has more bandwidth.
