About Timber Hole Outdoors and Taxidermy

Timber Hole Outdoors and Taxidermy is a Clinton, Missouri business that brings together two things serious sportsmen need under one roof: quality taxidermy work and sporting goods. Clinton sits in the heart of Henry County, a region with strong deer hunting traditions and plenty of fishing on Truman Lake nearby. That combination means they understand what local hunters and anglers actually want from a finished mount. You can pick up gear for your next trip and get your last trophy preserved in the same stop.

Services & Process

Timber Hole handles the full range of taxidermy work you'd expect from a shop serving Missouri's active hunting community. Deer shoulder mounts are a staple, involving careful hide preparation, form fitting, and detailed finishing work on eyes and nose to capture a lifelike expression. Fish mounts, popular given the proximity to Truman Lake, require precise color matching and fin positioning. The sporting goods side means staff understand the animals hunters bring in, which translates directly into more accurate, natural-looking finished pieces.

Service Area

Timber Hole Outdoors and Taxidermy primarily serves hunters and anglers in Clinton and Henry County, Missouri. The shop is well-positioned to take in work from surrounding communities like Windsor, Appleton City, and Deepwater. Truman Lake area sportsmen make up a good portion of the customer base.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment to drop off a deer or fish mount?
It's a good idea to call ahead at (660) 624-3738 before dropping off any specimen. This ensures the taxidermist is available to do a proper intake and discuss your options for pose, finish, and timeline.
How should I care for my deer hide before bringing it in?
Keep the hide cool or frozen as soon as possible after the harvest. Avoid leaving it in a warm truck bed for hours, since hide slippage can damage the quality of the finished mount significantly.
Can I get a fish mount done from a photo if I released the fish?
Yes, many taxidermists can work from a good photo and your reported measurements to create a replica mount. Replica mounts are a popular choice for catch-and-release anglers who still want to display their catch.
What sporting goods does Timber Hole carry alongside their taxidermy services?
The shop stocks hunting and fishing gear suited to the Clinton, Missouri market. It's worth calling to ask about current inventory, since stock changes seasonally.
How long does a typical deer shoulder mount take to complete?
Most deer shoulder mounts take anywhere from six months to over a year depending on the shop's current workload and the complexity of your order. Ask for a specific estimate when you drop off your specimen.
Is taxidermy work expensive, and what affects the final price?
Pricing varies based on the type of mount, size of the animal, and level of detail requested. Shoulder mounts cost less than full body mounts, and fish replicas are priced by length. Getting a written quote at drop-off helps avoid surprises.
