About Roberts Taxidermy

Roberts Taxidermy operates in Tallapoosa, Georgia, a small city in Haralson County near the Alabama state line. This corner of west Georgia sits in prime whitetail country, and hunters working the rolling hardwood hills and agricultural edges here regularly bring home deer worth preserving. The shop serves a community where hunting is deeply embedded in local culture, not just a seasonal hobby. That environment produces customers who care about quality and aren't afraid to wait for work done right.

Services & Process

Roberts Taxidermy handles the species mix typical of the Georgia-Alabama border region, including whitetail deer shoulder and full body mounts, wild turkey mounts, and smaller game work. Shoulder mounts involve skinning the cape, fitting it over a polyurethane form matched to the deer's body size, and finishing the face with glass eyes, sculpted detail work, and careful tucking around the eyes, ears, and nose. Rug mounts for bear or bobcat involve tanning the full hide and stretching it with a felt border and optional head. Antler mounting provides a lighter, lower-cost alternative for customers who want to display a rack without the full mount expense.

Service Area

Roberts Taxidermy serves Tallapoosa and surrounding Haralson County, along with customers from Bremen, Buchanan, and nearby Carroll County communities. Hunters from just across the Alabama state line in Cleburne and Randolph counties also make the short drive for local taxidermy work. This shop's location makes it a central option for a wide stretch of the Georgia-Alabama border region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept work from Alabama hunters as well as Georgia customers?
Shops in border cities like Tallapoosa regularly serve customers from both states, and there's no restriction on bringing a legally harvested animal across state lines for taxidermy work. Just make sure you have your harvest tags and documentation with you.
What poses are available for a whitetail shoulder mount?
Common options include straight ahead, semi-sneak, upright alert, and turning left or right. Your taxidermist can help you choose a pose that fits the wall space you have and matches the character of the deer.
How does a rug mount work for a bobcat or coyote?
The full hide is cleaned, tanned, and stretched flat with a sewn felt or leather border, and the head can be mounted in an open or closed mouth position. It's a popular display option for predator species taken during deer season.
Can you mount a deer if I shot it during bow season and it took a while to recover?
It depends on how quickly the animal was field dressed and cooled after recovery. A hide that started slipping before it was caped is difficult to save, but a taxidermist can assess the condition and tell you honestly what's workable.
What's the process for getting antlers mounted without a full shoulder mount?
The antlers and skull plate are cleaned and dried, then attached to a wooden plaque or panel in your choice of shape and finish. It's a straightforward, affordable option that works well for hunters who want to display a good rack without the full mount investment.
Is it possible to have a mount shipped if I can't pick it up in person?
Shipping finished mounts is possible but requires careful crating to protect the work, and the cost can be significant for large pieces. Most taxidermists prefer in-person pickup so they can do a final walk-through with the customer.
