The bayous and marshes surrounding Houma produce some of the most diverse wildlife in the South, from trophy whitetail to massive alligator gar, and having a local taxidermist who understands that ecosystem matters. Whether you're bringing in a bull redfish from the Gulf or a big buck from the Atchafalaya Basin, they're positioned to handle what this region delivers. Local knowledge translates directly into more realistic, regionally accurate mounts.

Services & Process

Swampland Taxidermy Studio handles the full range of services you'd expect from a South Louisiana shop, including fish mounts for species like redfish, bass, and speckled trout that are common in Terrebonne Parish waters. Waterfowl mounts are a major part of business here given the area's legendary duck hunting season along the Gulf Coast flyway. Trophy deer mounts, whether shoulder or full body, are prepared with attention to pose and habitat detail. They also offer skull cleaning and alligator mounts, which are particularly relevant in this coastal marsh environment.

Service Area

Swampland Taxidermy Studio primarily serves hunters and anglers across Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes. They're a practical choice for customers coming in from Thibodaux, Houma, and the surrounding bayou communities. The studio's location in South Louisiana makes it convenient for those returning from hunting leases and fishing charters along the Gulf Coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you mount alligators, and what sizes do you handle?
Yes, alligator mounts are a specialty in South Louisiana studios. Most shops handle everything from small display-size gators to full body mounts for trophy-size animals, though you'll want to confirm the upper size limit when you call.
How should I care for my fish before bringing it in?
Wrap the fish tightly in a damp cloth or paper towels, then place it in a sealed bag and freeze it as soon as possible. Avoid placing it directly on ice where water can damage the scales and fin structure.
How long does a typical deer shoulder mount take in Louisiana?
Most deer shoulder mounts take between 8 and 14 months, depending on the studio's current workload and the time of year you bring the animal in. Deer season brings a surge of work, so dropping off in late fall typically means a longer wait.
Can you mount waterfowl like teal and pintail?
Absolutely. Bird mounts are common requests given Louisiana's position along the Mississippi Flyway. You'll want to keep the bird frozen and unplucked until you drop it off, and discuss pose and base options at intake.
What is the cost range for a full body mount?
Pricing varies significantly based on the animal's size and the complexity of the pose and habitat. A small mammal full body mount might start around a few hundred dollars, while large predator or exotic mounts can run into the thousands.
Do you need a Louisiana hunting license or kill tag to process a deer?
Yes, Louisiana law requires that game animals be accompanied by proper documentation, including a valid kill tag. Bring that paperwork when you drop off your animal so the studio can stay in compliance with state wildlife regulations.
