About Trophy Taker Taxidermy

Trophy Taker Taxidermy is based in Cornelia, Georgia, a small city in Habersham County tucked into the northeastern corner of the state where the Blue Ridge Mountains begin. This part of Georgia draws hunters after whitetail deer, wild turkey, and black bear, and anglers chasing trout in the cold mountain streams nearby. A local taxidermist here understands the specific species and terrain that customers are working with. That regional familiarity shows in the finished work.

Services & Process

Trophy Taker likely handles a range of mounts suited to the mountain South hunting scene, including whitetail shoulder mounts, wild turkey fan and full body mounts, and fish reproductions for trout and bass caught in area waters. Bird mounts require careful feather preservation and wire armature work to achieve natural poses. Fish reproductions are cast from measurements and photos rather than the actual fish, meaning you can release your catch and still get a quality display piece. Antler mounting options range from basic plaques to decorative shed antler arrangements.

Service Area

Trophy Taker Taxidermy serves customers throughout Habersham County and the surrounding northeast Georgia mountain region. Hunters and anglers from Clarkesville, Demorest, Baldwin, and Toccoa regularly bring work to Cornelia area shops. The proximity to the Chattahoochee National Forest makes this a well-traveled destination for sportsmen from across the state.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount a trout caught in a nearby mountain stream?
Fish reproductions are the standard approach for trout and other fish you'd want to release. You provide measurements and clear photos, and the taxidermist creates a cast replica painted to match your specific catch.
What's involved in a wild turkey mount?
Turkey mounts can range from a simple fan and beard display to a full strut pose using the entire bird. Full body mounts require careful feather cleaning and positioning, and they're one of the more involved bird mounts a taxidermist takes on.
Do you work with black bear trophies?
Black bear work is common in northeast Georgia, and options include full body mounts, rug mounts with or without the head, and shoulder mounts. Each requires significant hide preparation given the thickness of bear skin.
How do I transport a bird without damaging the feathers?
Wrap the bird loosely in a plastic bag to keep feathers together, then refrigerate or freeze it as soon as possible. Avoid stuffing it tightly, which can break feathers and make the taxidermist's job harder.
Are habitat displays something you offer, or just the mount itself?
Many taxidermists offer habitat elements like driftwood, artificial foliage, and rock bases to create a scene around the mount. Ask during your consultation about what options are available and how much they add to the overall cost.
How much does a standard whitetail shoulder mount cost in northeast Georgia?
Pricing varies by shop, but shoulder mounts in this region typically run between $400 and $650 depending on detail level, form choice, and the shop's current rates. Getting a written quote before dropping off your trophy is always a good idea.
