About Wallace Processing & Taxidermy

Wallace Processing and Taxidermy in Waverly, Tennessee offers a rare combination that hunters in Humphreys County genuinely appreciate: full-service deer processing alongside professional taxidermy work, all under one roof.

Being able to drop off a deer and handle both the meat and the mount in one stop saves hunters significant time during what's already a busy season.

Services & Process

The dual focus here sets this studio apart from most. On the taxidermy side, deer shoulder mounts, European skull mounts, antler mounting, and fish work from nearby Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee River are standard offerings. On the processing side, customers can have their deer butchered into custom cuts, ground venison, or specialty sausage. This combination is especially practical for hunters who take multiple deer in a season, since they can decide at drop-off which animals get processed and which get mounted without driving to two separate locations.

Service Area

Wallace Processing and Taxidermy serves Waverly and Humphreys County, along with customers from Dickson, McEwen, and communities along the Tennessee River corridor. The shop's convenient location in Waverly makes it a practical stop for hunters coming off public and private land throughout western Middle Tennessee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get my deer both processed and mounted at Wallace in the same visit?
Yes, that's one of the main advantages of a combined operation like this. You drop off the deer, decide what you want done with each part of the animal, and the studio handles both services separately from there.
How long does deer processing usually take compared to taxidermy?
Processing is typically done within a few days to a week, depending on how busy the season is. Taxidermy takes much longer, often six months to a year, so you'll be making at least two separate trips to pick everything up.
What custom processing options are available for venison?
Most game processors offer standard cuts like roasts, steaks, and stew meat alongside ground venison and specialty items like venison sausage or jerky. Asking about specific options and pricing when you drop off is the best way to get exactly what you want.
Do you handle fish mounts for catches from the Tennessee River or Kentucky Lake?
Taxidermists in Waverly regularly work with fish from both the Tennessee River and nearby Kentucky Lake, including bass, crappie, and catfish. Keep your catch cool and get it to the studio as quickly as possible for the best results.
What's the best way to handle a deer if I want both the meat and the mount preserved?
The key is keeping the cape intact above the shoulders and getting the animal cooled quickly. When you arrive, the taxidermist will skin the deer in a way that preserves the cape for mounting while the carcass goes to processing.
Is there a minimum size or weight requirement for deer processing?
There's typically no minimum, though smaller deer naturally yield less meat. The staff can advise you at drop-off on what to expect in terms of yield based on the deer's size and condition.
