About Miller's Taxidermy

Miller's Taxidermy serves hunters and anglers in Poplarville, Mississippi, right in the heart of Pearl River County where whitetail deer hunting and bass fishing are serious traditions. South Mississippi's long hunting seasons mean local taxidermists stay busy from early fall through winter, and having a nearby shop matters when you're hauling a trophy. Miller's is a local option worth calling if you're bringing in a buck from the Homochitto National Forest region or a trophy catch from the Pearl River.

Services & Process

A full-service taxidermy shop in this part of Mississippi will handle whitetail deer shoulder mounts, which remain the most requested service among local hunters chasing bucks through Pearl River County's hardwood bottoms. Fish mounts are common here too, particularly largemouth bass and catfish pulled from area rivers and ponds. Bird work often includes wild turkey fans and full-body ducks for waterfowl hunters working the Mississippi flyway. Skull cleaning using beetles or boiling methods is another popular option for hunters who want a clean euro mount without the cost of a full shoulder piece.

Hunters and fishermen from Picayune, Lumberton, and the broader south Mississippi region make the trip for local taxidermy work. The shop is conveniently located for anyone hunting or fishing in this part of the state.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my deer should I bring it to the taxidermist?
You should get the cape to a taxidermist as quickly as possible, ideally within 24 hours. If you can't get there right away, keep it cool or freeze it to prevent spoilage and slippage.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a euro mount for deer?
A shoulder mount preserves the head, neck, and cape on a form, giving you a full lifelike display. A euro mount is just the cleaned skull, which is simpler, faster, and usually less expensive.
Can I get a largemouth bass mounted after a catch-and-release?
Yes, if you have accurate measurements and photos, many taxidermists can create a reproduction mount without the actual fish. Replica mounts are popular for catch-and-release anglers and hold up better over time than skin mounts.
How long does a typical deer mount take to complete?
Most taxidermists in south Mississippi quote six months to a year depending on their current workload. Busy fall hunting seasons mean the shop fills up fast, so early drop-off can sometimes help.
Do I need to do anything special to the hide before bringing it in?
Keep the hide cool and avoid cutting the throat or making incisions near the head if you're planning a shoulder mount. Salt the cape if you're more than a day away from reaching a taxidermist.
Does Miller's Taxidermy work on wild turkey mounts?
Most taxidermists in this area handle turkey work, including fan mounts, tail and beard displays, or full-body poses. Call ahead at (601) 958-0058 to confirm what's currently available and discuss your options.
