Services & Process

Pearson's Taxidermy provides the core services northwest Missouri hunters need most, starting with whitetail deer shoulder mounts that capture the detail of the area's farmland bucks. Wild turkey mounts are also a natural fit for this region, where Merriam's and Eastern turkey populations give hunters strong spring seasons. Fish mounts for Missouri River corridor species and skull cleaning for hunters wanting a clean European display are part of the work as well. Each service is handled with the care you'd expect from a studio where every customer has walked away happy.

Service Area

Pearson's Taxidermy serves Savannah and Andrew County, with customers also coming from St. Joseph, Maryville, and the surrounding northwest Missouri region. The studio is accessible for hunters across Buchanan, Nodaway, and Holt counties as well. Kansas City-area hunters looking for quality work north of the metro have found Pearson's worth the drive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes northwest Missouri good whitetail deer country?
Andrew County and the surrounding region offer a mix of agriculture, creek timber, and open ground that produces consistently large-bodied whitetails. The combination of food sources from row crops and bedding cover from creek bottoms creates ideal habitat. Many hunters in this area target mature bucks with significant antler mass, making a quality mount even more important.
How do I prepare a deer cape for a shoulder mount?
Cape the deer by cutting behind the shoulder and up the back of the neck, keeping the hide well ahead of the front legs. Leave plenty of extra hide around the brisket and neck, since taxidermists can trim but can't add back what's been cut away. Salt the cape or freeze it within a few hours to prevent slippage.
Do you mount wild turkeys, and how should I handle one after harvest?
Turkey mounts are a popular service in Missouri, and Pearson's handles them for spring season birds. Don't field dress a turkey you intend to mount, and avoid dragging it on the ground which damages feathers. Keep the bird cool and contact the studio as soon as possible about the best way to deliver it.
Why does a 5-star rating matter when choosing a taxidermist?
Taxidermy is a long-term commitment since a mount can hang in your home for decades. A taxidermist with a clean rating history has demonstrated they deliver what they promise, communicate with clients, and stand behind their work. Customer satisfaction in this trade is hard to fake because the finished product is right there on your wall every day.
Can you mount a deer harvested out of state?
Yes, as long as you followed the regulations of the state where the animal was harvested and transported it legally into Missouri. Keep your tag and any required documentation with the specimen. It's a good idea to check Missouri Department of Conservation guidelines if you're unsure about transport requirements.
How long does a quality taxidermy mount last if cared for properly?
A well-made mount that's properly maintained can last 20 to 40 years or longer. The keys are keeping it out of direct sunlight, controlling humidity, and dusting it regularly with a soft brush. Poorly stored mounts can deteriorate in just a few years, so placement in your home is a real factor in longevity.
