About Terri's Taxidermy

Terri's Taxidermy is located in Inglis, Florida, a small town in Levy County along the Nature Coast that's surrounded by some of the wildest, most productive hunting and fishing territory in the entire state. Inglis sits near the Withlacoochee River and the Cross Florida Barge Canal, and it borders the Withlacoochee State Forest and Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge. This is real Florida outdoor country where hunters take deer, hog, turkey, and black bear, and anglers chase everything from bass to saltwater species a short drive away.

Services & Process

Terri's Taxidermy handles the full range of work you'd expect from a Nature Coast studio, where hunters and anglers bring in everything from whitetail deer to freshwater bass to saltwater species caught in the nearby Gulf. Deer and hog shoulder mounts are staple services, with careful attention paid to skin prep and form selection to capture the animal's natural look. Turkey mounts, both fan displays and full-body poses, are popular during Florida's spring season. Fish work covers the freshwater species from the Withlacoochee River and the saltwater catches from Crystal River and Homosassa, including redfish, snook, and even manatee-country species like flounder.

Service Area

Terri's Taxidermy serves Inglis and the broader Nature Coast corridor, including Crystal River, Yankeetown, Chiefland, and the surrounding Levy and Citrus County communities. Hunters and anglers from as far as Gainesville and Ocala make the drive in for work on local species. If you hunt or fish the Nature Coast, this studio understands your territory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you mount fish caught in the Withlacoochee River?
Yes, freshwater species from the Withlacoochee and the surrounding river system are a regular part of the work here. Largemouth bass, striped bass, and catfish are all candidates for mounting, and local specimens often have distinctive coloring worth preserving accurately.
Can you handle a Florida black bear mount?
Florida black bear mounts are legal to pursue through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission's regulated harvest program, and a taxidermist in Levy County is well positioned to handle that kind of work. Always confirm your harvest paperwork is in order before bringing in a bear, and call ahead so the studio can prepare for the size of the project.
What's the best way to field dress a deer if I want a shoulder mount?
Cut behind the front shoulders and keep the hide on the neck and head intact, leaving plenty of cape for the taxidermist to work with. Avoid cutting the throat or making any cuts forward of the shoulders, since removing too much cape is one of the most common mistakes hunters make in the field.
Do you do rug mounts for hogs or other animals?
Rug mounts are available for wild hogs and other animals with suitable pelts, displaying the hide flat with a felt backing and sometimes the head in a three-dimensional pose. They're a popular choice for hunters who want to use their harvest as a floor or wall piece rather than a traditional shoulder mount.
How far in advance should I call before hunting season?
It's smart to call before deer season opens so you can get on the schedule and understand the studio's current workload. Popular taxidermists in hunting-heavy areas like Levy County can get backed up quickly once the season starts, and calling early helps set realistic expectations.
Can you do antler mounting without a full shoulder mount?
Yes, antler mounting is a straightforward and affordable option that displays the rack on a wooden plaque without the full skin and form of a shoulder mount. It's a great choice for hunters who want to remember a buck but prefer a simpler, more minimalist display.
