About Wallace Creations

Wallace Creations is based in Alexandria, Louisiana, a city that sits at the crossroads of Central Louisiana's hunting and fishing country. The Red River corridor and nearby Kisatchie National Forest draw serious hunters from across the state, giving local taxidermists like this one a steady stream of quality work year-round. Alexandria serves as a regional hub for sportsmen from Rapides, Grant, and LaSalle parishes, meaning the studio sees a wide variety of specimens. That breadth of work tends to sharpen a taxidermist's skills across multiple species.

Services & Process

Wallace Creations offers taxidermy services suited to what Central Louisiana hunters and fishermen bring in, including whitetail deer mounts in shoulder and pedestal styles. Fish mounts from Red River species like catfish, crappie, and striped bass are likely part of their regular workload. Bird and small game mounts round out the offering for customers who want to preserve turkey, squirrel, or other locally hunted animals. Antler mounting and skull cleaning are also common add-on services for hunters who want a cost-effective way to display a trophy rack.

Service Area

Wallace Creations serves customers throughout the Alexandria metro area and the broader Central Louisiana region. Hunters and anglers from Pineville, Ball, Lecompte, and surrounding Rapides Parish communities regularly use Alexandria-area taxidermists. The studio's central location makes it a convenient stop for sportsmen returning from nearby national forest hunts or Red River fishing trips.

Frequently Asked Questions

What deer mount styles do you offer?
Most taxidermists offer shoulder mounts, pedestal mounts, and full body mounts at different price points. Shoulder mounts are the most popular choice and show the deer from the chest up, while pedestal mounts include the brisket and are freestanding without a wall plaque.
Can you mount a wild hog?
Yes, wild hog mounts are a common request in Central Louisiana where feral hog populations are high. Both shoulder mounts and full body mounts are possible, and a European skull mount is a popular budget-friendly option for displaying tusks.
How do I preserve a turkey for mounting?
Keep the bird as dry as possible and place it in a plastic bag, pressing out as much air as you can before sealing it. Freeze it promptly without wrapping it tightly in a way that bends the tail fan, which can permanently crease the feathers.
Do you offer European skull mounts for deer?
European skull mounts, also called skull cleaning or beetle cleaning, are a popular and affordable alternative to traditional shoulder mounts. The cleaned skull with antlers attached makes a striking wall display and tends to cost considerably less than a full shoulder mount.
How much does a turkey mount cost?
Turkey mount pricing varies by studio and pose, but full body turkey mounts generally run between $400 and $700 in most Louisiana shops. Strutter poses with the tail fan fully displayed tend to be on the higher end due to the added complexity.
Is there a time limit on how long after harvest I can bring in a specimen?
The sooner the better, but most specimens are fine if they've been properly frozen immediately after harvest. Avoid refreezing an animal that has already thawed, as repeated freeze-thaw cycles cause hide and scale damage that can't be reversed.
