Services & Process

Nature's Legacy handles the full range of taxidermy work you'd expect from a west Tennessee studio, including shoulder mounts for deer and other big game, which involve skinning, fleshing, and fitting the hide over a custom foam form to capture a natural pose. Fish mounts preserve the detail and color of your catch using either skin mounting or reproduction casting techniques. Bird work, including wild turkey fan displays and duck mounts, requires careful feather preservation and precise positioning. Skull cleaning and antler panel mounts round out the offerings for hunters who want a cleaner display option.

Service Area

Nature's Legacy primarily serves customers in Bolivar and throughout Hardeman County. Hunters from neighboring Fayette, McNairy, and Chester counties also make the trip to Bolivar for quality mount work. The studio is conveniently located for anyone hunting the west Tennessee corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvest do I need to bring my animal in?
You should get your animal to the taxidermist as quickly as possible, ideally within 24 hours if refrigerated or frozen. Delay can cause hair slippage and skin damage that makes a quality mount impossible. When in doubt, freeze the hide rather than wait.
What's the typical turnaround time for a deer shoulder mount?
Most taxidermists in Tennessee estimate 12 to 18 months for a deer shoulder mount, especially during peak hunting season when studios are processing a high volume of work. Asking about current wait times at drop-off gives you the clearest picture.
Do I need to do anything special to prepare my deer before bringing it in?
Field dress the deer and keep the cape intact, avoiding cuts near the shoulders or neck. Cool the carcass as quickly as possible and avoid dragging by the neck, which can damage the hide. Your taxidermist can give you specific instructions over the phone before you bring it in.
Can I choose the pose for my mount?
Yes, most studios offer a range of form poses including semi-sneak, upright, and turning positions for deer shoulder mounts. Your taxidermist will walk you through a catalog of options and recommend poses that suit your wall space and preference.
How much does a standard deer shoulder mount cost in west Tennessee?
Prices vary by studio, but deer shoulder mounts in this region typically run between $400 and $700 depending on the level of detail and finishing work. It's worth calling ahead to get a firm quote before you drop off your animal.
Is a deposit required when I drop off my animal?
Most taxidermists require a deposit at drop-off, often ranging from 25 to 50 percent of the total cost. This covers materials and secures your spot in the production queue. The balance is typically due at pickup.
