About Renfrow’s Taxidermy

Renfrow's Taxidermy is based in Taylorsville, Mississippi, a Smith County community surrounded by the rolling timber country and creek bottoms of central Mississippi. Smith County is serious deer hunting territory, with a mix of private timber leases and family farms that produce consistent harvests each season. Taylorsville sits at a crossroads that makes it accessible to hunters from several surrounding counties. A taxidermist with roots here has grown up alongside the hunting community and knows exactly what customers are looking for when they walk through the door.

Services & Process

Renfrow's handles whitetail deer mounts as a core service, preparing shoulder mounts that preserve the thick-necked, heavy-beamed look of central Mississippi bucks. Turkey mounting, from simple fan and feather panels to full-strut body mounts, covers the spring season work. Antler mounting gives customers a fast, budget-friendly option that puts a great rack on the wall without the full shoulder mount investment. For customers who've harvested a coyote or bobcat on their property, predator mounts are another common request in timber country.

Service Area

Renfrow's Taxidermy serves Taylorsville and Smith County, with customers driving in from Magee, Mize, and other surrounding communities throughout central Mississippi. The studio's location makes it a practical stop for hunters coming off properties in Smith, Jasper, and neighboring counties. Word travels in small hunting communities, and Renfrow's draws from a loyal base spread across the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pose options are available for a whitetail shoulder mount?
Common poses include straight ahead, slight left or right turn, upright alert, and semi-sneak. The right choice often depends on the size and character of the antlers, and a good taxidermist will help you pick a pose that flatters the specific animal you harvested.
Can you mount a coyote or bobcat from my property?
Yes, predator mounts are a popular request in central Mississippi's timber country, and most local taxidermists handle them regularly. Bringing the animal in quickly and keeping it cool is especially important for predators since their fur can slip faster than deer hide.
Is antler mounting a good alternative to a full shoulder mount?
Antler mounts are a great option when the rack is the standout feature of your harvest, or when budget is a consideration. They're typically mounted on a simple panel or skull plate and display cleanly without the wall space a full shoulder mount requires.
How do I find a taxidermist I can trust in a small town?
Ask other hunters in your area, at your local feed store, or through hunting club members who've used local studios recently. Seeing finished mounts in person at someone's home or camp gives you a much clearer picture than any online listing.
What happens if my cape gets damaged before I get it to the taxidermist?
Minor damage like small cuts or thin spots can sometimes be repaired by an experienced taxidermist, though it adds complexity and cost. Be upfront about any damage when you drop off the specimen so the taxidermist can assess what's possible and set realistic expectations.
Do taxidermists in this area handle deer that were hit by vehicles?
It depends on the condition of the animal, particularly whether the cape is intact and undamaged. Some vehicle strikes leave the head and neck area in good shape, while others don't. Contact the studio with details before transporting the animal.
