Services & Process

Walkers' Wildlife Art Studio handles the full range of taxidermy work hunters and collectors need most. Shoulder mounts are the bread and butter, capturing the neck, head, and expression of trophy deer or other big game in lifelike detail. Fish mounting is another common service, with options for skin mounts or reproduction replicas that hold up better over time. They also work with birds, small game, and can handle skull cleaning and antler mounting for hunters who want a cleaner, low-profile display piece.

Service Area

Walkers' Wildlife Art Studio primarily serves hunters and outdoors enthusiasts in Magee and throughout Simpson County. Customers also come in from surrounding areas like Mendenhall, Braxton, and other communities across the southern Mississippi pine belt region.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare my deer before bringing it to a taxidermist?
Keep the hide cool and avoid cutting into the neck or chest area if you want a shoulder mount. If you can't get it to the studio the same day, wrap it in a plastic bag and freeze it without salting the hide.
How long does a typical deer shoulder mount take to complete?
Most shoulder mounts take anywhere from four to eight months, depending on the studio's current workload and the time of year. Fall and early winter are the busiest seasons, so expect longer wait times if you're bringing in a buck right after the rut.
Do taxidermists in Mississippi work with fish as well as deer?
Yes, many Mississippi taxidermists handle both freshwater fish and game animals. Bass, crappie, and catfish are common requests, and you can often choose between a traditional skin mount or a painted reproduction that's more durable over time.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a reproduction fish mount?
A skin mount uses the actual fish skin stretched over a form, while a reproduction is a fiberglass replica painted to match your catch. Reproductions don't shrink or fade as much over time, and many anglers prefer them for that reason.
Can I get just the skull cleaned and mounted without a full shoulder mount?
Absolutely. Skull cleaning, often done through boiling or beetle colonies, is a popular and more affordable option. European mounts have become very trendy and look great displayed on a simple wall plaque or driftwood piece.
Is a deposit required when I drop off my trophy?
Most taxidermists require a deposit at drop-off to cover materials and reserve your spot in the queue. The amount varies by project size, but expect to put down somewhere between 30 and 50 percent of the total cost upfront.
