Taxidermy

Services & Process

Deer processing is a key differentiator here, covering field-to-table services like butchering, packaging, and sometimes sausage or jerky preparation alongside the taxidermy work. Shoulder mounts and European skull mounts for whitetail deer are the natural focus given the location in one of Georgia's most productive deer counties. Turkey mounts, hog processing, and small game work likely round out the seasonal offerings. Full body mounts and specialty displays may be available on request, though the shop's dual focus on processing and mounting keeps it firmly rooted in the practical needs of working hunters.

Service Area

Newborn Taxidermy and Deer Processing serves Newton County and the surrounding rural communities of Walton, Morgan, and Jasper counties. Hunters from Covington, Monticello, and Madison regularly make the trip for both processing and mount work. The shop's location in small-town Newborn puts it within easy reach of private hunting properties spread across Georgia's middle Piedmont.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drop off my deer for both processing and a mount at the same time?
Yes, that's one of the main advantages of a shop that offers both services under one roof. You'd discuss which cuts you want for the freezer and whether you want a shoulder mount, European skull, or full body piece, all in one conversation at drop-off. This saves you from making two separate trips to two different businesses after your hunt.
What's the turnaround time for deer processing in Newton County?
Processing times vary by shop workload and the time of year, but most rural Georgia shops aim to have your venison ready within a few days of drop-off during peak season. During the rut in November, wait times can stretch longer as shops get busy. Call ahead during the height of season to get a current estimate.
Does Newborn Taxidermy handle trophy mounts beyond whitetail deer?
Most rural Georgia taxidermists work with the full range of species that local hunters pursue, including wild turkey, feral hog, and small game in addition to deer. Call (770) 786-3350 to confirm they work with your specific animal and to get current pricing. Seasonal birds and fish may also be available depending on the shop's current setup.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a European skull mount?
A shoulder mount preserves the cape and facial features of the deer mounted on a form, giving you the full trophy display that most hunters picture when they think of a wall mount. A European skull mount involves cleaning the skull down to bare bone, whitening it, and mounting the antlers on a simple plaque or panel. Skull mounts cost significantly less and are popular with hunters who want a clean, modern look.
How should I store my deer overnight before bringing it to the shop?
Keep the deer as cool as possible, ideally hanging in a cold space or on ice in a cooler with the body cavity open. Avoid letting it sit in a warm truck bed for hours after harvest, since heat speeds up spoilage and can damage the cape if you plan a shoulder mount. Field dressing promptly and getting the animal cooled down quickly makes a real difference in meat quality and hide condition.
Is Newborn Taxidermy a good option for hunters from Covington or Madison?
Newborn sits in a central location in Newton County that's a reasonable drive from Covington, Madison, and the surrounding towns. Hunters from these communities regularly use shops in the Newborn area because of the combination of services and the rural setting that fits the hunting lifestyle. Calling ahead to confirm they're taking new clients during peak season is always a good idea.
